"Arizona Highways" is a wonderful magazine people collect and sometime keep them in leather bindings. We always look for older issues at yard sales.

AZ Highways is nationally, if not internationally known for the high quality of it's photography. They've employed some of the best photographers in the land, including one Ansel Adams who was a frequent contributor.

Yeah, Arizona Highways is great. We subscribe to the magazine (great edition all about Lake Powell this month) and have also bought some of the DVDs of the TV show (went to several locations specifically because we had seen those locations on the Arizona Highways show).

I have a lot of old issues. I wish AZ Highways would put the Old Issue's on CD li National Geographice did.

As great as the mag is it seems like they are having some finacial problems. Hope it works out.

where's Carlson when you need him.

Thanks for sharing that, almost worth a sticky at the top of the page for all the newcomers to see.

Here's something I didn't know, I always thought it was paid for with state tax dollars, but that changed in 1982. I think no matter what it takes, we should never lose "Arizona Highways".

From its beginning, the magazine was supported by annual appropriations from the State Legislature, from magazine sales and from advertising revenues. But in 1938, the old Arizona Highway Commission adopted a resolution banning advertising from the magazine. It said it believed that pitting a state agency against a private company for advertising dollars constituted unfair competition. No paid advertising has been in the magazine since.

And there has been no legislative appropriation or direct tax support of the magazine since 1982. The magazine operates on the funds it earns from the sales of magazines, books, calendars and other products.
