Welcome to Arizona a place most think of as a scorching expanse of sand and cacti—but in reality is so much more. This is a place that actually holds the largest continuous pine forest on the planet. It’s also a place where an original 1830s stone bridge was dismantled in London, England, and shipped across the ocean to be rebuilt in the middle of the desert.
From a remote village at the bottom of the Grand Canyon where the mail is still delivered by pack mules, to a towering 185-foot waterfall that flows like a roaring river of chocolate milk, here are 15 incredible geography facts you never knew about the Grand Canyon State.
