I spent president's day week-end in Arizona... I am still sorting through my pictures and I am going to post them in the next two weeks, so if you don't like cactus and rocks, don't come here! Actually there have been so much rain this winter that the desert was incredibly green and Arizona did not look like an arid zone at all :-) !
To start, here is a picture of the Tonto National Forest located north-east of Phoenix.

This forest is more than one million hectares big, about the size of Connecticut.
