🌄🌊 As we close out our Great Outdoors Month series, we celebrate the Colorado River, one of Arizona's most iconic natural treasures.

Flowing alongside the homelands of the Cocopah Indian Tribe, Colorado River Indian Tribes (Mohave, Chemehuevi, Hopi and Navajo), Fort Mojave Indian Tribe, and Quechan Indian Tribe, the Colorado River has connected Native communities to the land and water for countless generations. Today, it continues to offer unforgettable experiences - from boating, fishing, kayaking, and swimming to hiking, camping, and wildlife viewing.

The Arizona Benefits Fund, made possible by Tribal Gaming in Arizona, supports tourism and outdoor recreation, ensuring these incredible destinations can be enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.

As you celebrate the Fourth of July weekend, we encourage everyone to get outside, explore Arizona's remarkable landscapes, and enjoy them safely and responsibly. Thank you for following along with our Great Outdoors Month series as we've highlighted just a few of the amazing places that make Arizona extraordinary.

Happy Fourth of July from AIGA! 🇺🇸
