Welcome Arizona Movers!
When most people hear Arizona, they think desert…which is exactly what most of the state is! The personality and climate of this area is reflected in its state mascots like the Arizona Ridgerose Rattlesnake (state reptile) and Saguaro Cactus Blossom (state flower). So if you’re a fan of Western movies in which men ride on horses through the sand and stumble upon thrillingly beautiful sites like the Grand Canyon…you’re about to be in heaven. (And don’t worry about missing out on water, this state has plenty of lakes and natural water reserves, as well!)
