History of outdoors and exploration in Arizona
The Grand Canyon, one of Arizona's most iconic landmarks, was first explored by Europeans in 1540, led by Spanish explorer Garcia Lopez de Cardenas. Since then, it has become a symbol of Arizona's natural beauty and an irresistible lure for explorers and tourists alike. The Colorado River running through the canyon has been a popular spot for fishing and rafting for centuries. Arizona is also home to several national forests like the Coconino National Forest and Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests, which have long been favored destinations for hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, and wildlife viewing. The state's ecosystems - ranging from desert scrublands to alpine tundra - support an array of wildlife species making it an ideal spot for hunting enthusiasts. Arizona is a large agricultural state with $3.9B of ag production, and roughly 43.2% of the land privately owned by farmers and ranchers. The major crops are cow/calf production, dairy products, lettuce and hay. When planning hunting trips to Arizona on private lands like farms & ranches, it's important to understand some key dates for farmers and ranchers. Ranchers in this region usually do their calving, brandings and vaccinations anywhere from February through June and will ship cattle in late fall. During these times, they are extremely busy and may be harder to communicate with. Farmers in Arizona follow 3 shorter growing seasons instead of one long one due to the unique climate. Cool season crops are planted and harvested between September and March, while warm season crops grow between February and May. A mid summer crop like corn is planted and harvested during the monsoon season starting in July or August.
