"This is the view we had the next morning when the sun came up," Steph Belt of Gilbert says of her camping trip in the Superstition Mountains. See more of her photos at instagram.com/adventuresteph.

It was a stunning year for Arizona photography.

There were moments like these to take your breath away: Snow in the Superstition Mountains just after the new year, March wildflowers covering the desert as far as the eye can see, mighty monsoon lightning and a once-in-a-lifetime super blood moon eclipse. Plus, all those sunsets, stellar skies and unique animal encounters that make you say "wow."
