azrvguide.com Arizona RV Gu i d e 2010-2011 13 opper is one of Arizona’s “5 Cs” and there’s a Cochise rich history of copper mining in this southestern Ccorner of the state. While modern mining still goes on here, it’s the well-documented history of the boom time that makes this area fascinating. Bisbee was once the overcrowded home of 20,000 souls who made their fortunes mining the rich copper, silver and gold deposits. Now, it’s the charming, artist-loving seat of Cochise County. Nestled in the Mule Mountains are well-preserved Victorian buildings and a small but devoted population of full time residents. Douglas and Naco are just north of the Mexico border, which makes them convenient for well-planned visits to another country. C1 Sierra Vista is a quickly-growing modern community, just to the east of Fort Huachuca, an active Army base. © Copyright 2010, Compass Marketing, Inc. C2 Everyone who has seen a western movie knows about the violent history of Tombstone. Much of the actual hangouts of Doc Holiday and Wyatt Earp have been preserved and regular “gun fights” add to the drama. The landscape of Cochise County is as diverse as the map is not to scale rest of Arizona, and surprising lush, verdant riparian conservation areas take turns with rugged mountains as a feast for the eyes. Visit Kartchner Caverns State Park to see underground beauty, or Chiricahua National Monument for towering rock formations. There’s something for everyone!

36 Southern or big city attractions without the big city congestion of Phoenix, Tucson AZ Fgives its visitors a truly Southwestern experience. A stay in and around Tucson is sure to keep everyone entertained. Visitors of all ages enjoy hands-on museums, exciting attractions, enriching culture and heritage themed events and natural beauty. Those who love the outdoors enjoy bird watching, stargazing, rock climbing, mountain biking and S2 golf. South of town, you can wander the historic town of Tubac, visiting galleries and shops to see local treasures. Tumacacori, just next door S1 on Route 19, is the ruin of a Franciscan mission built in 1795. Now an National Historic Park, you can tour the old church and grounds. If you want to venture west, Ajo is a little western town with charm and history. A former mining town, Ajo boasts a museum and copper mine pit that stretches 1.5 miles long. It’s also right next to the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, a natural wonder of cactus and wild desert beauty.
