Tucson

Description

Located in Southern Arizona in the Sonora desert with the Santa Catalina Mountains looking on, Tucson combines the flavor of the Wild West with stunning natural beauty, a rich native American tradition, and a blossoming of health resorts and new age sensibilities. A healthy Mexican community adds a 'south of the border' influence to many Tucson neighborhoods.

Tucson is surrounded by five Arizona mountain ranges, several national parks, and Native American homelands. The city population is currently nearing the 1 million mark, with new residents attracted to the stunning southwest scenery and the hot, dry climate.

Fast Facts

Tucson is the oldest constantly inhabited settlement in the United States of America, with the first native people arriving 12,000 years ago.

Tucson's biggest employers are aircraft and missile manufacturing, the tourism and hospitality industry, and branches of the U.S. government and military.

The City of Tucson is very bicycle friendly with 630 miles of striped bike-only paths and 72 miles of shared paths throughout metro areas.
