ARIZONA 



Canyon Country-the name alone conjures up 

 wild natural beauty, spectacular vistas, majestic 

 rock formations. Its lure begins with the might- 

 iest spectacle of them all, the Grand Canyon. 



A mile deep, 277 miles long, and two billion 

 years in the making, it's one of America's most 

 awesome spectacles. Canyon afficionados can 

 view this wonder from rim-side or while hiking 

 or white-water rafting at the bottom of the 

 Canyon. Air tours take off from Tusayan near 

 the South Rim, where an IMAX Theatre pro- 

 jects the Grand Canyon story on a massive in- 

 door screen. 



Lesser known Oak Creek Canyon, a dream- 

 world of red rock cliffs carved through forests 

 by a mountain stream, is accessible by highway 

 and has a half-dozen national forest camp- 

 grounds. Nearby Sycamore Canyon has no 

 roads at all and is a remote wilderness accessi- 

 ble only to hikers and horseback riders. 



Less than an hour from the art colony of Se- 

 dona en route to the Grand Canyon are two na- 

 tional monuments: Walnut Canyon, with a se- 

 ries of cliff dwellings situated in a deep gorge, 

 and Wupatki, with some 800 prehistoric rock 

 abodes. 



The 1 2,643 San Francisco Peaks north of 

 Flagstaff offer challenging high altitude trails for 

 hikers as well as lower elevations walks through 

 a blanket of wildflowers in summer. 



Note: The Arizona Department of Tourism 

 has just published an EcoTourism Guide to 

 Canyon Country which focuses on archaeolog- 

 ical excavations, remote nature preserves and 

 Indian reservations. 



GEORGIA 



Spring is the ideal time to visit the Golden Isles, 

 part of a chain of barrier islands stretching 1 20 

 miles along Georgia's coast to Florida's border. 



The gem of the group is Little Saint Simons 

 Island, off the coast at Brunswick. An environ- 

 ment geared to the conservation and preserva- 

 tion of natural resources, this secluded enclave 

 has the greatest concentration of shore-birds 

 on the Georgia coast. The six-mile long, three- 

 mile-wide retreat is an ideal nature preserve 

 with rare flora and fauna inhabiting Its pro- 

 tected sandy beaches, salt marshes, tidal flats, 

 and pine forests. 



Little Saint Simons is a private island with a 

 handsome rustic pine lodge owned by the 

 Berolzheimer family dating to the turn-of-the 

 century. Accommodating a scant two-dozen 

 guests, it's known for its Southern "home- 

 cooked" cuisine featuring such regional dishes 

 as oyster stew and fried chicken. 



The island is accessible by boat from its sib- 

 ling, the larger Saint Simons Island, whose 

 charms include horseback riding, salt water 

 fishing for red fish and flounder, or fly fishing
