Is there any natural feature in Arizona that wouldn’t be considered a natural wonder? Our state has so many incredible views, it just doesn’t know when to stop being amazing. Well, if we were to say that Arizona is home to the seven natural wonders of the world, here are some features that we think should definitely make that list:
Looking like something straight out of an abstract painting, Antelope Canyon features unexpected curves, textures, and colors that continue to intrigue visitors.

Where would this list be without the Grand Canyon? It looks spetacular both day and night.
An amazing, breathtaking sight from Massai Point, the hoodoos here (the tall rock spires) almost seem like something found in a different country or world.
One of the ultimate picture-taking sites in Arizona, it is as beautiful in person as it is in photos. Just take care when visiting, as the location does not have railings to protect visitors from an untimely death.

If we leave out the Grand Canyon, there's no landscape that defines Arizona and the desert southwest quite like Monument Valley. While the Mittens are the most popular sight, the park has plenty of other beautiful views so be sure to check it out.
This is the world's largest natural travertine bridge. When paired with the beautiful pines and seasonal waterfall, this makes the bridge one of a kind.
Putting it simply, this place is unreal. Slowly formed over millennia through blowing winds, the Wave creates a surreal landscape that is somehow both delicate and hardy to the ravages of time.
So, what do you think? Seven is a bit limiting, but I think it makes for a good start to a list. What other locations would you consider a true natural wonder?
