Exploring the outskirts of Tucson

This page features several books that I have written pertaining to the local history in and around Tucson. Tucson is surrounded by five prominent mountain ranges along with several far distant mountains ranges. With an urban population of over half a million the mountains provide a means of escape and relaxation from the vexation of the city. Located 14 miles west of downtown Tucson, the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum in the western foothills of the Tucson Mountains is the renowned crown jewel of Tucson and southeastern Arizona. The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, Tucson Mountains and Tortolita Mountains are some of the most fascinating places to visit in the region. Splendid views aside, each of these localities offers the visitor the opportunity to explore the flora and fauna indigenous to the Sonoran Desert along with a vast geological terrain and colorful history.

Below are images that I acquired during my many hikes across the Tucson Mountains. Although homesteading is no longer practiced in the United States, the remains of many homesteader rock houses dating back to the early half of the 20th century remain standing in the Tucson Mountains. Spring wildflowers and wildlife abound across this scenic mountain range. Hiking trails such as the Starr Pass Trail and the David Yetman Trail provide easy access to many central sites in the Tucson Mountains.
