Tucson Guide

Where to find everything you want to know about Tucson!

This exciting and beautiful town can turn out to be the place of your dreams.  The relaxed pace, warm, sunny weather, the nearness of indescribably, beautiful parks and hiking trails are only one part of Tucson’s attractions.  Another is the cosmopolitan aspect, which is enriched by sports, cultural events and all facets of the educational offerings of The University of Arizona. 

A terrific array of international cuisine and all kinds of music, dance and theater add more richness to life here.  In addition, the Mexican and Native American heritage adds so much flavor and individuality to this city.  Southwestern architecture, Spanish street names, Mexican festival days, Native American folklore contribute greatly to the unique qualities which make Tucson an ideal place to live and raise children.

Tucson is tucked into the southeastern corner of Arizona.  Four ranges of majestic mountains surround Tucson and often change color before your eyes!  To the north are the Catalina Mountains (9,100 feet), to the east the Rincon Mountains, south are the Santa Rita Mountains, and west are the Tucson Mountains.  These mountains offer an abundance of hiking trails, national forest lands, and many other outdoor activities, including mountain biking, climbing, camping and scenic driving.

With a population of about 875,000, Tucson is expected to reach 1 million by 2010 or so.  A little knowledge of Tucson’s unique history will expand your appreciation of the desert landscape, the wild life, the climate and the diversity of cultures that have made their homes here.  Spanish soldiers established the city as the Presidio of San Augustin de Tucson.  When Mexico won its independence from Spain, Tucson briefly became part of Mexico, but was later purchased the United States as part of the Gadsden Purchase in the mid 19th century.  Arizona was the 48th territory to become a state in 1912.

Average temperatures in January range from 38 to 64 degrees Fahrenheit, while in July averages are 74 to 98 degrees.  The average annual rainfall is about 12 inches and relatively low humidity provides cool evenings, even during the summer.
