Tucson has two main historic centers: the downtown core along the Santa Cruz River, and the quarter around the University of Arizona campus, a mile to the east. The city was founded in the late 1700s by Catholic missionaries who came from Mexico, then a Spanish colony, to convert the Pima Indians.

Flanking Tucson to either side, the two sections of SAGUARO NATIONAL PARK offer visitors a rare and enthralling opportunity to stroll through strange desert "forests" of monumental, multi-limbed saguaro (pronounced suh-WAH-row ) cactuses. Each saguaro can grow up to fifty feet tall and weigh up to eight tons, but it takes around 150 years to do so. Whatever you may have seen in the movies, you can drive a long way in Arizona without seeing one; saguaro are unique to the Sonora Desert, and so the thrill when you finally encounter a thousand at once is deeply satisfying.
