The Arizona Strip is the part of Arizona lying north of the Colorado River.
The difficulty of crossing the Grand Canyon causes this region
to have more physical and cultural connections with southern Utah and Nevada
than with the rest of Arizona.
LOCATIONTBDDESCRIPTION2.8 million acres in the northwest part of Arizona.There are no paved roads and no facilities on most of The Strip. HISTORYFrom a strictly geographic point of view, it would seem the Arizona Strip should be part of Utah.
