Opinion of Arizona

Hot, barren, boring... my grandparents retired to Arizona and lived there for about 20 years until my grandfather died.  Been there a couple times and despite being happy to see them... it was absolutely miserable.  It's just too hot, and the state likes to "see ze papers"

I heard their winters are awesome though.  My family are actually looking for a newer home down there, either Prescott Valley or Queen Creek/Gilbert area, they will be retiring in 2014.

I know Arizona is a gigantic state, so there's a lot of diversity in the geography.  I can tell you that the expanse from the Grand Canyon, to Phoenix, to Yuma... a gigantic area.. is a barren inferno.  I'm sure the winters are nice, though.  Just can't get over the summers, though.
