The next state in line I would like to talk about is Arizona, home of the Grand Canyon. When you think of Arizona you probably think of desert landscape of tons of scattered cacti; well here is something else to keep in mind when thinking about the state of Arizona. Did you know that more copper is mined in Arizona than in all of the other states... COMBINED! Arizona houses the Morenci Mine. This mine is the largest copper producer in all of North America. Copper is the main source of profit for Arizona. Most of the copper is found in places that are similar to the Grand Canyon.
Arizona is really cool! I went when I was younger and have always wanted to go back there! I used to be a huge Diamondbacks fan before they beat the Yankees in the world series a couple years back!
