Tucson:
Gateway to Southern Arizona The
area around Tucson, Arizona, has been

from early Native American sites all
the way to the Space Age. You can also
experience the ecological diversity
of this part of the state, which ranges
from lowland deserts to mountain forests
and includes species of tropical birds
and plants usually found farther south.
