Jimmy,

The ground tracks are shown here.

http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/shuttlemissions/sts121/mission_docs/landing.html

It's more of an ocean track than a ground track, and it's too far south to be 
visible from Arizona.  I doubt that another Shuttle will approach the Cape from 
the northwest over populated regions of the U.S. after Columbia's 
disintigration.
