10 Arizona RV Gu i d e 2009-2010 azrvguide.com CG1 Casa CG3 Grande Just a little over 120 years ago, Casa Grande was home to six permanent residents, who Casa Grande made a living moving freight between the train Street Detail station and nearby mines. When Southern Pacific CG5 stopped work on the rail line it was building from Yuma across southern Arizona in 1879, the supplies piled up and the town stayed on. Originally named “Terminus,” Casa Grande, or “Big House,” was renamed for a four story Hohokam Indian adobe building located 20 miles to the east. Today, the population of Casa Grande is more than 45,000 and the railroad and agriculture are responsible for its continuing growth. The history of the railroad and agriculture can be explored at the Casa Grande Valley Historical Society. The Casa Grande Ruins National Monument CG4 is located in Coolidge, about 20 miles northeast of Casa Grande. Built in the early 1300s, this was once the home of a settlement of Hohokam Indians who declined and vanished by the end of that century. Between Phoenix and Tucson, Casa Grande is a lovely rural retreat with easy access to a variety of CG2 attractions. map is not to scale

azrvguide.com Arizona RV Gu i d e 2009-2010 35 36 37 Southern The most populous city in Southern Arizona and second largest in the state, Tucson AZ is rich in history, culture and natural attractions. It is surrounded by five mountain ranges, including the Santa Catalina Mountains, home of Mount Lemmon, the southernmost ski resort in the nation. Just outside of town is the acclaimed Arizona- Sonora Desert Museum, a showcase of native animals and plants in a beautiful natural setting. Golf courses abound, and Major League Baseball spring training brings the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Chicago S1 White Sox and the Colorado Rockies. Tucson has a rich historical heritage, influenced by Native American, Spanish and pioneer cultures. Jesuit missionaries built the Mission San Xavier del Bac in the 18th century, and it still glows white against the desert just south of town. In downtown Tucson, the Barrio Historico district features beautifully painted historic adobe buildings. Northeast of Tucson, near Oracle, you can visit Biosphere 2, a testing facility of self-sustaining environments under huge greenhouse-like structures. map is not to scale
