The Tucson metropolitan area
is presently home to over 750,000, and is continuing to grow by nearly 2,000 new
residents each month.
People visit Tucson for its rich
history, recreational and cultural pursuits, gorgeous desert scenery,
world-class hotels, and year-round sunshine.
In this city,
where old and new are equally represented, traditional adobe architecture and
modern high-rise buildings stand side by side. Folklorico mingles with
modern art, dance and music. It is not uncommon to lunch on a topopo
salad and dine that same evening on fine French cuisine.
Tucson (pronounced
Too sahn) has been continuously settled for over 12,000 years and
is one of the oldest cities in the United
States.
The city is
spread out over hundreds of square miles in a scenic, high desert valley
surrounded by five mountain ranges: the Santa Catalinas on the north and
northeast, the Rincon range to the east, the Santa Rita Mountains on the south
and southeast, the Tucson Mountain range on the west and the Tortolita Mountains
to the northwest. Sentinel Peak, called "A" mountain by University of Arizona
students, is slightly southwest of downtown Tucson and affords a fantastic view
of the metropolitan area.
Tucson's
historic neighborhoods are clustered within the central city and include Barrio
Historico, El Presidio, Armory Park, West University, Sam Hughes, Iron Horse and
the Pie Allen District (named for an early settler famous for his dried-apple
pies). The downtown Arts District and the Fourth Avenue Shopping District are
also centrally located.
Enjoy the
architectural detail of Mission San Xavier del Bac; the breathtaking scenery and
natural beauty of the mountains; the history and heritage of the Presidio
district; the stately cacti in Saguaro National Park; the wet cave system in
Kartchner Caverns State Park. Then venture out to view the traditional and
contemporary works at the Tucson Art Museum and aeronautical history at the Pima
Air & Space Museum.
The Santa Catalina mountains around the Sonoran Desert rise to the fine tastes of Tucson's population.
Nature stirs up quite a mixture of wildlife, plants and stars in Tucson.
