Answer: Arizona Diamondbacks

The Arizona Diamondbacks became part of the MLB in 1998. They quickly became a competitive team, taking only four years to win a championship. The other options were hockey teams.

Answer: To get warmth from the sun.

Montezuma's Castle is the ruins of a five-story cliff dwelling located in Beaver Creek Canyon. Like most cliff dwellings found in the American Southwest, the dwelling faces south in order to catch and retain the greatest possible warmth from the sun. There is more than just this one ruin at this National Monument and the culture responsible for their creation is a matter of scholarly debate. Populations in the area broke down in the 15th century, possibly through disease, extended drought, the exhaustion of farmland, or possibly a combination of all three.

They have left the ruins of cities scattered around the state.

Answer: It is home to saguaro cactus.

The saguaro cactus can only be seen in the Sonoran Desert. Arizona's Saguaro National Park is a wonderful place to visit if you love camping, hiking, and horseback riding. While you can visit the park all year around, you may want to check the temperatures before you go. I would suggest between October to April when the temperatures have cooled down. For those amateur astronomers, the night skies at this park are fantastic.

Answer: The Colorado River

Havasu Falls are a part of the Colorado River tributaries. They can be seen if you visit the Havasupai Indian Reservation. They are considered to be a part of the Grand Canyon. The falls, which are spring fed, run all year long. There are many waterfalls in the area and they are very pristine. Arizona is a state that takes wonderful care of their natural wonders.
