A typical evergreen pine forest stands on a photo. An onlooker may assume that this could be in Colorado, Europe, Alaska, or at least if it was taken in the great Grand Canyon State then the foliage would be restricted to some very very far distant isolated mountain top. This is not the case, as there are conifer expanses in AZ that stretch for hundreds of miles, including some very fantasy like biotic communities.

The photograph recognition scenario photo could involve a location in Arizona. Arizona is well know for dryness spanning opposing horizons, however, typically the larger cities are associated with or located very close to what is known as the "Upper Sonoran" Zone, which is more humid and a little cooler often that the lower elevation, more arid lands to the south and west. The stretch of foliage sparsity and searing temperatures, includes the extent of the Mojave Desert within the boundaries of Arizona south to the Cactus and Laposa Plains, plunging farther south into the Sonora desert. The Sonoran desert portion of AZ is comprised of a gentle arc shaped stretch consisting of the Kofa, Castle Dome, and smaller associated satellite mountains in the North and West and the Yuma and Lechugulla deserts well as the Mohawk Valley to the South and East.

These scorching nearly moisture devoid regions make up the areas which would strike most people as visually being much closer to a typical desert environment that Hollywood had often portrayed as the American Southwest.

Many areas located within the arid zone are sandy, much like the enigmatic Northeast, Navajo land. There are native stands of palm trees in the Kofa Range, (which stands for King OF Arizona (Mines)). These palms cling to the rocky mountain recess within steep walled canyons absent of almost all vegetation. These conditions are much like those located in the largest hottest desert on the Earth.

I have always likened the range to the much larger Aggahar Mountains in southwestern Algeria, as they both are remote, dry, and craggy. The Atlas mountains of the Northern Sahara compare favorably with the Hualapai of the Mojave. Located on the Shores of Lake Havasu lies the place where the highest temperature in Arizona was reached, 128 degrees F, or 53 C. Climate here much resembles another hot, more populous coastal specimen of civilization, Kuwait City. The waters represent a haven, an escape from the pounding rays of Sol. For many people in the respective areas I am sure that that coastline recreation is a key component to both economies. Bring the boat, pole, and net!

The waters of the Colorado rival any of the Nile's course, winding its way down a land empty of almost anything but bushes and an occasional shade tree, if you are lucky enough to find one! vakantiehuis titisee
