Arizona delivers desert-level weird—giant cow skulls, abandoned Christmas towns, and mysterious roadside attractions called “The Thing.” Some of these we’ve visited, others are still on our radar. When we’ve been somewhere, the link takes you to our photo page with details and snark. Otherwise, you’ll head to their official site (assuming one exists—sometimes that’s half the adventure).
