With over 300 days of sunshine a year, Arizona calls you outside to play. You'll want to discover canyoning either in the northern slot canyons or the Colorado Plateau. Of course canyons mean rocks, plenty of rocks so bring your gear and choose your summit. If you're good, very good, then take a crack at 7,626-foot Granite Mountain. The mountain biking near Flagstaff is considered some of the best in the country. You can even still find whitewater in Arizona, especially through Glen Canyon.
