National Park Getaway
This week, come on a vicarious journey with the National Park Getaway series of travel articles (http://www.nps.gov/getaways) and marvel at the lushness of Arizona. If it sounds preposterous—an invitation to check out water and plants in the desert Southwest—trust that this paradox, like others, has truth at its core. Or, even better, don’t treat the concept of green in Arizona as a paradox at all. Rather, free yourself of the stereotypical perception of the state as a sun-blasted, cactus-barbed, sandy expanse, and learn about one of the other landscapes encompassed by Arizona’s borders.
