From the high-drama of the mighty Grand Canyon, to the saguaro-dotted Sonoran landscapes and the Ponderosa pine forests of the north, our state has long been a draw for visitors from far and wide. Home to awe-inspiring landscapes, vibrant city life, world-class spas, and resorts, Arizona has something for everyone.
People are also reading… But today the same is not true for businesses in rural parts of the state. Rural areas are sought after by visitors for their proximity to parks and wildlife, and are home to more than 1.5 million Arizonans, geographically 80% of the state.

Colorado governor signs gun control bills after massacreColorado’s governor has signed four gun control bills months after a mass shooting at an LGBTQ nightclub. The new laws enacted Friday include raising the buying age for all firearms from 18 to 21 and installing a three-day waiting period between the purchase and receipt of a gun.
