AREA HISTORY

WHAT IS ARIZONA?

To many in the metropolitan areas it is a dynamic place of hustle and bustle , , , to the many thousands living in the smaller towns and communities it still is looked upon as , ,

. , , the home of the Grand Canyon , , . land of towering peaks and outstretched desert. , . last frontier of the Great West ... A haven for the ill ... a place of opportunity for the ambitious , .. The magic land where the Great Architect left with lavish hand His everlasting handiwork.

, , , land of sunshine and enchantment .. , land of vista and vastness , , , different from all other lands , .. teeming with thousands of farms and far reaching ranchos,... where herd on herd of cattle and sheep graze , , , where men burrow into the earth to bring forth metals that make life the easier to live,

, .. a land in which to work .. , to play , , . to relax ... where the music is the clicking of the Mexican castanets . . . the weird chant of the melancholy Indian peoples, . , and the pounding of hoofs on the range,

, , , a land in which to enjoy in every-day life the gay romance and appeal of the open range .. , to spend long hours in the warm sunshine , .. to get back to simple and quiet living , , , to experience sunsets unsurpassed in grandeur.

.. , a land where your blood will quicken to the symphony of all outdoors ... deep blue skies by day ... and moon drenched hills by night . , , a land in which to live . , . to laugh . ; , to· breathe , , . and to dream again, -

, , , a land whose vast panorama of color . , , beauty . , , and romance , , , no one book can completely portray .
 

This is Arizona.

SPEND A WEEKEND LEARNING OUTDOOR SKILLS
ARIZONA GAME AND FISH


Come spend a weekend in the tall pine country of central Arizona enjoying the outdoors and learning new skills.

 

Wildlife managers and department staff from the Arizona Game and Fish Department along with Mogollon Sporting Association and Red Bear Outfitters, will team up to teach the inexperienced how to get the most out of their time in Arizona’s beautiful wild lands.

 

“The fall is a great time to be outdoors,” says area biologist Seth Sheer. “It is one of my favorite times of year; the elk are bugling, the fall colors are starting to show and the mornings are crisp and days are cool ... it’s perfect out.”
