State Flag of Arizona

This design features the state flag of Arizona, which is in the southwestern region of the United States. Southern Arizona is known for its desert climate, with very hot summers and mild winters. On the other hand, Northern Arizona features mountain ranges, deep canyons and forests of pine, Douglas fir, and spruce trees, with much more moderate summer temperatures and significant winter snowfalls. The red and yellow of Arizona's flag symbolize the state's picturesque landscape; the center star represents the state's high copper production. Arizona is often known as the "Grand Canyon State", the "Copper State" or the "Valentine State". The capital city of Arizona state is Phoenix. Other major cities in Arizona include Tucson, Mesa, Chandler, Scottsdale, Glendale, Gilbert, Tempe, Peoria, Surprise, Yuma, San Tan Valley, Avondale, Goodyear, Buckeye, Flagstaff, Casas Adobes, Casa Grande, Lake Havasu City and Catalina Foothills.
