Is there any natural feature in Arizona that wouldn't be considered a natural wonder? Our state has so many incredible views, it just doesn't know when to stop being amazing. Well, if we were to say that Arizona is home to the seven natural wonders of the world, here are some features that we think should definitely make that list:
1. Antelope Canyon
Looking like something straight out of an abstract painting, Antelope Canyon features unexpected curves, textures, and colors that continue to intrigue visitors.
2. Grand Canyon
Where would this list be without the Grand Canyon? It looks spetacular both day and night.
3. Chiricahua National Monument
An amazing, breathtaking sight from Massai Point, the hoodoos here (the tall rock spires) almost seem like something found in a different country or world.
4. Horseshoe Bend
One of the ultimate picture-taking sites in Arizona, it is as beautiful in person as it is in photos. Just take care when visiting, as the location does not have railings to protect visitors from an untimely death.
5. Monument Valley
If we leave out the Grand Canyon, there's no landscape that defines Arizona and the desert southwest quite like Monument Valley. While the Mittens are the most popular sight, the park has plenty of other beautiful views so be sure to check it out.
6. Tonto Natural Bridge
This is the world's largest natural travertine bridge. When paired with the beautiful pines and seasonal waterfall, this makes the bridge one of a kind.
7. The Wave at Vermillion Cliffs National Monument
Putting it simply, this place is unreal. Slowly formed over millennia through blowing winds, the Wave creates a surreal landscape that is somehow both delicate and hardy to the ravages of time.
So, what do you think? Seven is a bit limiting, but I think it makes for a good start to a list. What other locations would you consider a true natural wonder?
