Southern Arizona at a Glance
Southern Arizona is home to Tucson,
one of the state's largest cities and a bastion of culture and entertainment.
Some of the local museums include the Center for Creative Photography,
the Arizona
Sonora Desert Museum and theTucson
Museum of Art, all of which are complimented by a number of galleries and
theatres throughout the city. State parks and historic sites are well represented
in Southern Arizona as well, such as the Catalina
State Park for camping and the Coronado
National Memorial, a site which commemorates the first foray into the American
Southwest by Europeans. Kartchner
Caverns State Park offers a variety of recreational and educational opportunities,
including guided cave tours, a discovery center and over 60 campsites. Due to
the state's proximity to Mexico, culture from south of the border has an influence
on Southern Arizona, resulting in a rich community diversity.
