Situated in a high desert valley and surrounded by mountains, Tucson has a pleasant, dry, sunny climate and is a tourist, retirement, and health center. It is the second largest city in the state and has industries based on regional mining (especially copper) and the manufacture of electronic and electric equipment. It is also a market, processing, and shipping center for the cattle and cotton produced in the area.

Tucson offers both a quiet getaway and a multitude of activities for all ages. From the majestic Santa Catalina mountains to the statuesque Saguaro National Monument, Tucson's outdoor beauty cannot be matched. Visitors commonly enjoy the relaxed lifestyle at one of its many golf resorts.
