The following questions are for the virtual trip that
students will take visiting Arizona regions.
- This
metropolitan area is surrounded by desert, with saguaro cactus, and the
country of Mexico not too far away.
Do you know where you are?
- The
capital of Arizona, not only am I hot, but you will find many Palo Verde,
and Mesquite trees all around my boarders? You might also be lucky and see a Gila monster. Do you know the name of this city?
- The
cool air of the pines is always refreshing, but I am not yet on the
Mogollon Rim, close but not quite there.
I do though have higher elevation trees like juniper. Have you ever been to this ever,
expanding city?
- Deep
rich canyon walls surround you as you take a step back in time to this
culturally rich location. The
climate is hot, and it is a high elevation desert. Water is scarce, but the Navajo
successfully grows corn and other crops. Wouldn’t you like to see this
fascinating example of canyon delight?
- One of
the seven wonders of the word, where Pinyon nuts ripen in the fall, and
the Kaibab squirrels scamper from tree to tree. The climate by the river is hot, but up on the rim you will
always find cool evenings, and fantastic sunsets. Have you ever been to
see this national treasure?
- The
city in the pines. Did you now
that this town is in the largest continuous ponderosa pine type forests in
the world. Black bears roam in the
mountains, and if you are lucky, a mountain lion might leave a sign or two
for you to examine.
- Water
everywhere, but not indigenous to this location. Surrounded by desert this town has a national landmark from
another country. Have you been to
the London Bridge? Cactus covers
the countryside, and watch out for those pesky rattle snakes. Do you know the name of this town?
- The
Colorado River flows through this town, rich and brown with topsoil. The cactus in many places will even
grow very close to the edge of this mighty river. With an average rainfall yearly of less
than three inches this city is one of the driest in the state of
Arizona. Have you ever been to
this corner marvel before?
