Do you know the 5 C\u2019s of Arizona? They are copper, cattle, cotton, citrus, and climate. Back in the pre-statehood days, these C\u2019s were responsible for building Arizona\u2019s economic infrastructure. The availability of jobs in mining, agriculture, and ranching helped populate the state. Some people add cactus and canyons to the C-list.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Stay_in_Arizona_Unique_Luxury_Hotels\"><\/span><strong>Where to Stay in Arizona: Unique Luxury Hotels<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Usually, I think it\u2019s nice not to have to unpack and repack my suitcase one a one-week trip.

Bacteria and pollutants adhere to the salt and leave the lungs. Also, skin is cleared, breathing made easier, endurance strengthened, and general wellness enhanced.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_other_spa_should_you_also_check_out_while_in_Arizona\"><\/span><strong>Which other spa should you also check out while in Arizona?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A must: Aroma Design Massage at The Phoenician Spa.
