Southern Arizona Travel

Travel to Southern Arizona if you seek adventure. This dry desolate area has been inhabited by humans for a long time. The climate has made it difficult if not impossible for the area to become over populated. Making the adventurer in all of us smile. There are tales of lost gold mines, cowboys and a desert that goes for miles and miles.

Southern Arizona hiking trails are really off the beaten path. Traveling on dirt road to get to The Superstition Mountains you will find an area that is mountain desert and seems to go on forever. Hike around a bit and you may stumble upon the Lost Dutchman’s Mine. The story goes that a miner brought millions of dollars of gold out of the mountain, never returned to the area and died before telling a living soul where the mine was located. » Read more: Adventure Travel in Southern Arizona

The other day traveling through the Arizona flat land between Phoenix and Tucson, I met someone at a Pilot Truck Stop in Casa Grande coming from Austin, TX and on their way to Oregon for a Horse Show. They asked me briefly so what is in this state anyway. I kind of laughed and I said well have you ever heard of the Grand Canyon

They smiled and said; Oh Yah. I said well there is lots to see in Arizona. They said; Yah but what about Southern Arizona, what is in this part I told him he was practically in Central Arizona and would be in Phoenix within the hour. But I know Arizona pretty well like most states, as I have Relatives in Winslow AZ. Just traveled by there the other day, I love the Meteor Crater and Museum, bought a magnetized rock by the road side gift shop, now closed; also I met some Cal Tech NASA guys there testing the rover once, very cool the tele-robotic systems. » Read more: Arizona is a Great State to Visit
