Pima County Information

Pima County, Arizona is named after the Pima American Indian Tribe and is best known as one of North America's longest inhabited and most ecologically diverse areas, especially the Santa Cruz Valley. This makes it a great place for visitors interested in pre-Columbian and early American history, living Native American history, unique flora and fauna, geology and natural desert beauty. Pima County is home to the Mission of San Xavier del Back which was founded in 1697 and is still in use today. Within Pima County are the San Xavier, Pascua Yaqui, and Tohono O'odham reservations. The De Anza Hiking Trail follows the route of Spanish explorer, Juan Bautista de Anza. The Giant Saguaro Cactus symbolizes the American West and there are two large cactus forests in Pima County. The Saguaro National Monument and the Organ Pipe Cactus Monument offer hiking, horseback riding, and biking. After experiencing the breathtaking Sonora Desert, America's largest desert, visitors can learn more about this unique history of this part of America at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, the Pima Air and Space Museum, the largest privately funded aerospace museum in the world, or Old Tucson Studios where many Western movies were filmed and is now part of a Western theme park.

History and beauty aren't the only things that Pima County has to offer. The Sonora Desert offers the perfect backdrop to Pima County's premier golf courses. It is one of the United States best spots for motorsports from old fashioned hot rodding at Mirle's SIR dragway, state-of-the-art karting at the Mussleman Honda Circuit, and racing at the Tucson Raceway Park. For even more thrills, visitors can explore an actual underground nuclear missile complex at The Titan Missile Museum. Pima County has something to offer everyone from bird watching to birdies, horseback riding to hot rodding, all in one of America's most historic regions.
