Nature & Science

In Arizona, science and nature live together in perfect harmony. The stunning Sonoran Desert—the only natural home of the saguaro cactus—is also home to the scientific marvel that is Biosphere 2. The gorgeous red rocks of Sedona are rich in geological interest. And the Grand Canyon’' steep walls tell a story that goes back millennia.

Celebrate the meeting of brains and beauty with events around the state.
