TUCSON Arizona's second largest city, it has strong Latin roots and is set in the Sonoran Desert Valley and is surrounded by mountains. Home to the University of Arizona with some interesting museums, Tucson also has an historic downtown district.

FLAGSTAFF Northern Arizona's biggest town and just 90 minutes from the Grand Canyon, Flagstaff is a good base for day trippers who want to visit the Canyon. Still keeping with its historic past, the original Route 66 passes through Flagstaff and still draws many visitors. TEXAS And not forgetting Texas, the `Lone Star' State, which has a cowboy tradition and a wild frontier history.
