Why, Arizona

If you've ever been on a road trip to Arizona, you'll know that it's a great place to visit. There are countless tourist attractions, and its unusual landscape makes it a once-in-a-lifetime trip.

Of course, you might ask yourself why this town is called Why - but it turns out that this town was so-named thanks to the Y-shaped intersection of the nearby highways.
