The second largest county by land area in the contiguous Unites States (following San Bernardino, California), Coconino County spreads over 18,661 square miles, which makes it larger than nine states in the US. What’s particularly cool about Coconino, aside from its size, is the fact that it is home to the Grand Canyon National Park, the Havasupai Nation and parts of the Navajo Nation, Hualapai Nation, and Hopi Nation. This means that it is also home to some 30 percent of the Native American population.

Some 134,000 people live in this county so the population density isn’t all that high. You do have to take into consideration, however, the fact that a big part of the county is occupied by nature’s wonders. Obviously, there are plenty to do here, especially if you love being out in nature. Hiking, boating, fishing, biking, camping and so on are available to everyone.
