My
girlfriend lives there. I got to go visit her once (I live in
France.) It was a shock - The country was so different from any thing I had ever seen. Such a
prosaic, alien land ranging from pine laden
mountain crags to lunarscape
petrified forests. The scenery was mind blowing to the extreme and the climate made it all the more so.
I could list some of the best sites but I wont. Having found surreal lonely places I would like to keep them that way. If I told you they were beautiful and worth visiting then they would cease to be.
Phoenix is a horrible dead grid covered city filled with old people looking for sun and kids thinking they're cool with their guns and fast cars.
