desert. wasteland/shrubland, very ugly, very plain and unattractive. phoenix is the ugliest city in the country. the people suck too.
>middle third
coniferous forest, higher elevation, gets very cold in winter
>top third
very nice, grand canyons. hardly anyone lives there
when I was a hobo I walked all the way from phoenix to payson to sedona to flagstaff to the grand canyon then I left. gets nicer the farther north you go. phoenix itself should be nuked
