Tucson, Arizona, is located in the southwestern part of the United States, roughly 60 miles from the border of Mexico. Founded in August of 1776, the land area was inhabited by Indians for more than 4,000 years before the early settlers arrived. Known for its blazing desert heat and frigid cold nights, Tucson offers vacationers the best of both worlds. Mountain ranges not far from the city provide skiing and hiking trails for plenty of outdoor activities.
