I learned from this video that Arizona is a nice and a very good state to live at. To be honet, it's not a bad place at all.

The land is very colorful. It’s full of flowers. Some of the land is very mountainous and some of it is flat. There are deserts in Arizona too. There is lots of trees and lots of people. i learned alot about arizona. In the summer the temperature is really warm up to 122 degrees. In the winter it is really cold it reaches -40 degrees sometimes. In the winter it snows up to 100 inches in the northern part of Arizona. the videos were cool to watch but it needs better music. i think we should do this a few more times.

I personally do not prefer to live in a state like Arizona. Its climate seems to change a lot all year round. the terrain seems very dry and hot very mountainous.

I've been to Arizona so most of this information I was familiar with. Although I knew most I still learned a lot. The pictures were not anything new to me because of my time vacationing in the Grand Canyon and Sedona. It should be interesting to see where all of this information leads us in our reading.

Arizona is a very big state with 113,634.51 acres of land.it is also home the a grand canyon.it also has 5,130,632 people.
This was.....awesome?
I learned oodles about Arizona, like how hot Airizona is, and that they have the Grand Canyon. That's sweet with their red rock and all. I totally love the cacti as well.

I didn't know that Arizona's temperature ranged so widely. I thought it only went down to 40, but I didn't think it could dip below freezing. The concept of a dude ranch was interesting, but it would be easier if they just called it an inn...
