If you live in Arizona, clearly the best decision you’ve made was choosing to live here. And since every day is a new one, why not try to make each one amazing? Here’s an Arizona twist on some of the best decisions you can make each day to live life to the fullest.
1. Starting your morning with a beautiful Arizona sunrise. Greet the day with a walk, run, or even just a cup of coffee.
8. Instead of taking a shortcut via a highway, take the scenic route. This is perfect when traveling across the state but is even a good decision when you're driving through town.
15. Actually, all you night owls would probably agree that stargazing into the late night is the perfect way to end a day. And with our dark skies, there's no better place to enjoy a view of the constellations and planets than right here.
