On the Road

Tucson, located in the southwest region of the United States, blends the cultures of the United States and Mexico, and has a long history of settlement by ancient Native American peoples, Spanish explorers and Anglo frontiersmen.  Because the weather is mild nearly all year, but especially in the winter, Tucson is a destination for many snowbirds.  Click here for a listing of area camp sites and here for a low cost attractions passport.

During your stay, stop by the Arizona Historical Society for a history of the area from Spanish Colonial times to the 20^th century. There’s also The Presidio Trail, a historical walking tour of downtown.  If you’re interested in learning more about the native wildlife, The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is one of the most notable wildlife parks in the world. Just south of Tucson is the Patagonia-Sonoita Creek Preserve, a pristine wildlife sanctuary. The Tucson Botanical Gardens, located in midtown, is a haven for native plants and birds. There’s also Saguaro National Park, a place to hike among what symbolizes the Great West.
