	TRAVEL TO ARIZONA Arizona had an estimated population of over 7 million. Arizona is one of the Four Corners states. It borders New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, California, touches Colorado, and has an international border with the states of Sonora and Baja California in Mexico. In addition to the Grand Canyon, many other national forests, parks, monuments, and Indian reservations are located in the state. The capital and largest city in Arizona is Phoenix. Flagstaff has a strong tourism sector, due to its proximity to Grand Canyon National Park, Sedona, and Oak Creek Canyon. Historic Route 66 is the main east-west street. Flagstaff is home to over 60,000 residents and the main campus of Northern Arizona University. Due to its numerous golf courses, Arizona is home to several stops on the PGA Tour, most notably at the FBR Open, more commonly known as the Phoenix Open. Places to Visit in Arizona: 1. The Grand Canyon is a colorful, steep-sided gorge, carved by the Colorado River, in northern Arizona. The Grand Canyon National Park is one of the seven wonders of the world and one of the first national parks in the United States. Try for an overnight stay so that you can enjoy the sunset and sunrise at the Canyon's rim! 2. Railroad through the Verde Valley and see the untouched Arizona. 3. Canyon de Chelly - A beautiful area located in the heart of the Navajo Nation. The Navajo Nation is also the gateway to Monument Valley. 4. Tombstone - the town too tough to die! Remember the scene of the gunfight at the OK corral? 5. I highly recommend visiting the Petrified Forest and the Painted Desert. Bring extra film or extra camera chips with you. 6. Jerome - the town that hangs on a hill side, barely! 7. Kartchner Caverns is Arizona's newest state park. 8. Montezuma Castle 9. Scottsdale is a popular destination for tourists as it is packed full with resorts, shopping, arts and atmosphere. 10. Coal Mine Canyon is the home of hoodoos and legends. 11. Sycamore Canyon - Shhh, it's a secret; another amazing Arizona canyon. 12. Arizona is home to one of the largest and most well-preserved meteorite impact sites in the world. The Barringer Meteorite Crater (better known simply as "Meteor Crater") is a gigantic hole in the middle of the high plains of the Colorado Plateau. The crater itself is nearly a mile wide, and 570 feet (174 m) deep! For more travel suggestions, please visit www.travelspotsintheus.com. TRAVEL TO NEW YORK New York is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions of the United States, and is the country's third most populous state, following California and Texas. The estimated population of New York is over 20 million! It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, and shares a water border with Rhode Island as well as an international border with the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Ontario. New York's Adirondack Park is the largest state park in the United States. It is larger than the Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Glacier and Olympic National Parks combined. New York established the first state park in the United States at Niagra Falls in 1885. Niagara Falls, on the Niagara River as it flows from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, is a popular attraction. The Hudson River begins with Lake Tear of the Clouds and flows south through the eastern part of the state without draining Lakes George or Champlain. Lake George empties at its north end into Lake Champlain, whose northern end extends into Canada, where it drains into the Richelieu and then the St. Lawrence Rivers. Four of New York City's five boroughs are on the three islands at the mouth of the Hudson River: Manhattan Island, Staten Island, and Brooklyn and Queens on Long Island. New York's agricultural outputs are dairy products, cattle and other livestock, vegetables, nursery stock, and apples. Its industrial outputs are printing and publishing, scientific instruments, electric equipment, machinery, chemical products, and tourism. Canada is a very important economic partner for the state. 23% of the state's total worldwide exports went to Canada in 2004. Tourism from the north is also a large part of the economy. Canadians spent US$487 million in 2004 while visiting the state. New York City is the leading center of banking, finance and communication in the United States and is the location of the New York Stock Exchange, the largest stock exchange in the world by dollar volume. Many of the world's largest corporations are based in the city. Portions of New York's transportation system are intermodal, allowing travelers to easily switch from one mode of transportation to another. One of the most notable examples is AirTrain JFK which allows rail passengers to travel directly to terminals at John F. Kennedy International Airport.
