Really cool Arizona fact alert! Surprisingly, Arizona is the country’s top rose producer. They love dry air and heat, so as long as they get enough water they thrive here. (The roses in my profile pic are from my garden in Tempe) I love your videos, you are always very genuine!

One of the other huge tourist draws is MLB Spring Training during the months of March & April every year.

I'm from Show Low Arizona. Great video. But a little surprised you didn't mention parts of the Mogollon and the White Mountains.

I was born in Georgia, but I moved to Arizona when I was 11 and have lived here for over 10 years now. I definitely believe Arizona is one of the most beautiful states in the country (Utah and Colorado are also high up there for me). I know most people think Arizona is just a big hot desert, and though they aren’t wrong, Arizona is so much more than that, and I think you did an amazing job in showing that. Keep up the good work Kyle!

Thanks Kyle, my two favorite states are New Mexico and Arizona and you covered them both!

[jacktyler]

Kyle, this channel is a treasure. Thanks so much for assembling these eclectic, interesting subjects into digestible video programs. Didn't know about your channel until three days ago, and now I'm hooked!

[bbruvey]

Good job! I really like your videos. I'm interested in more profiles of Western US states

I’ve become a huge fan of your channel- I have been binging your videos off and on for the last week and honestly they are the best geography videos on YouTube! Thank you for delivering so much high-quality and informative consonant it is truly appreciated. But I finally had to comment on a video after seeing the misfits earth A.D. album in the background behind you- Totally awesome dude! Love your perspective, love the content, and I love your taste in music!! THANK YOU

5:34 _"Sedona is a city about halfway between Phoenix and Flagstaff."_

In terms of distance, Sedona is nowhere near halfway between Phoenix and Flagstaff: It's 120 miles from Phoenix vs. 30 miles from Flag. However, in terms of drive time, it might be a bit closer to half (2 hours vs. 45 minutes, respectively), due to the fact that there’s a 75 MPH interstate for much of the trip to Phx vs a narrow, twisty road with a much lower speed limit to Flag.

The meteor impact crater in northern Arizona is truly phenomenal - just the scale of the scale of the hole. A great springboard of understanding of our relationship to the universe. I did see a picture of it… But maybe a word or 2 of the significance of the Arizona landmark. I love your channel!

Love your videos, geography is my strongest subject because I find it so entertaining. Thanks for making 'em!

[coppermtnram]

Thanks for the video! I grew up there and miss it much..though I love CO too. All four corners states are amazing!

Between Phoenix and Tuscon is Rooster Cogburn's Ostrich Ranch. A tourist site not to be missed. If you'd like to try fishing (yes, fishing) for ostrich, they can make it happen. Grapefruit slices act as bait. The tours of the ranch in a monster bus are pretty good too... Don't miss it!

To be nerdy, Arizona isn't quite as deserty as people think. Actually, only about 39% can be classified as true desert. Grasslands occupy 25%, Woodlands (oak and piñon/juniper) 18%, and forests (ponderosa pine and mixed conifer) 18%. There are even a few square miles of tundra.

Your videos are appreciated! Keep em coming.

I used to live in Arizona. It's such a misunderstood place. I think it is the most beautiful state (although Utah, California, and New Mexico are close contenders). The main thing I miss is hiking! My profile pic features Mummy Mountain in Paradise Valley, which I used to hike regularly.

I consider myself very good at Geography but you are in fact the Geography King this series on the States is the bomb I can't wait to see my home state.
