Arizona various places

Yes I know this one saws New Mexico on the front of it but the back says:
Balanced Rock, Texas Canyon, Arizona, Near New Mexico State Line
Weighing at least 25 tons this balanced rock resting on a base only inches in diameter, is but one of many strange formations throughout the canyon, which have been formed by the twin forces of upheaval and erosion. Texas Canyon is also identified as Dragoon Pass, the scene of Apache Indian attacks upon the Dragoons of the U.S. Cavalry.

Devil's Tea Pot. In Sedona, Ariz., on Highway 89, 30 miles south of U.S. Highway 66 and Flagstaff, Ariz. This is one of many formations located in this area which form a backdrop for many western movies. If you are passing through Flagstaff by all means take time out to go through Oak Creek Canyon and Sedona.

A large area of petrified logs found in the Petrified Forest National Monument in Northern Arizona along Highway 66. These petrified logs grew in prehistoric ages.

Sundown on the desert. The beauty of the fluffy red sky and the black silhouette of the graceful saguaros blend in perfect harmony.

Fifth Avenue, Scottsdale. This interesting street is one of Scottsdale's many tourist attractions. It is lined on both sides with shops showing such a variety of the unique and the beautiful it is a favorite of tourists and residents alike.

US Airways Center, Phoenix. US Airways Center is a sports and entertainment facility located in Phoenix. It is the home of the Phoenix Suns, the Phoenix Mercury, the Arizona Rattlers, and the Phoenix Roadrunners.

Chase Field, Phoenix. Chase Field is the home of  Major League Baseball's Arizona Diamondbacks. Construction began in 1996 and was completed in 1998. Chase Field has a swimming pool, located in right-center field, which is rented to patrons.

Incorporated as a city of Arizona in February 25, 1881. Phoenix is located in central Arizona in the "Golden Corridor." With a growing population of 3,252,876, it is the fourteenth largest city in the United States.
