Living in Arizona is quite a unique experience because of the vastness that the state offers. From the Sonoran Desert in the south to the high country in the north all the way up towards the Four Corners east and the Grand Canyon in the west. Known as the Grand Canyon state, Arizona is diverse in many ways. The state tree is the Palo Verde, the state cactus is the Saguaro, the state bird is the Cactus wren.

Great video of my home. Sure wish we were still at 600,000 metro.

[@Ember-Rodriguez]

Need to include the Desert museum, if your visiting thats among the top places you have to check out. Another mention or two would be Round 1 (which while they are a chain its still one of the best arcades in the region) west of downtown you have the Mercado San Augustine and MSA Annex with many shops, events, and places to eat/drink, related some restaurants I would throw out include Caruso's, Mi Nidito, Los Olivos, El Charro, daisy maes, and Silver Saddle. For daytrip ideas we have caves with kartchner caverns being wheelchair accessible as well as biosphere two being a wonderful place to tour.

[@buscador54]

Also include union for weekend farm market and great live bands. For food los apson , pico de Gallo, rollies , el taco gordo , bk, guero canelo , American eatery , the Monica , la chingada , bocas , among many others and now Tucson studios (new owner) and buckalo farms specially for Halloween corn maze

I just left there, don't waste your time there.

[@johnlooney2319]

What no San Xavier Mission? The finest example of Spanish Baroque in the country and maybe the oldest continual place around Tucson.

[@distilledfreedom1840]

Boy I love Tucson. If I didn't start to sweat over 59 degrees I'd for sure live there. There's nothing like the thunderstorms and desertscape.

[@kevinogracia1615]

Well, done (no pun intended.) I'll add another... Gates Pass at sunset. Beautiful. Peace on earth.

Hi my family and I just moved away from Tucson Arizona as of April 12 th been two years ago we been away from there moved to Pittsburgh now just to hot 🥵 now there' love Pennsylvania now four seasons 😊

That's funny to read. I grew up in New Castle about an hour north of pgh, been in Tucson for 32 years. I love PA. Die hard Steelers fan.

I lived in Tucson in early 2000's and loved it. I miss it, would definitely love to live there, again.❤

[@seanbennett6765]

This was a very good video. Great videography and commentary. But it seems to mostly highlight the east side of Tucson and only makes brief mention of some real landmarks on the west side of town like the Desert Museum and Old Tucson. There's also the International Wildlife Museum, the Rodeo Grounds, 4th Avenue, and countless restaurants that can only be found in Tucson. I'm also not sure how well the airport fits into things to do while in Tucson though. I only go there when I have to :)

[@magnificentfailure2390]

Check out the old Army Air Corps hangars along South Old Nogales Highway, if you can. B-17's, 25's and 29's all spent time in those buildings being fitted with weaponry before heading out overseas in WWII. I have a picture I would love to post here of seven 29's inside one of the hangars at the same time. They are immense inside.

I dream of moving to the Tucson area. Lived in central Phoenix in 91-93. And although we used to ride our dirtbikes out in the open area of Glendale where there is now a giant stadium, I still think the life was great. Want so badly to get out of Northern California. Just gotta find work and we're there.

Seriously though. The backside used to be so nice but its become so full of trash in more recent years. Every time we go up theres at least a bags worth of trash coming down with us. Crazy.

Love how clean your camera footage is. You guys do such a good job with these videos … much love 🤝

I love the temperature difference between the valley and Summerhaven. We were up in Mt. Lemmon just 2 weeks ago (early July). It was around 100-105 in the valley. When we reached the peak, it was 76-80. And beautiful, expansive views from the top and all along the hwy up the mountain.

I love MT Lemon but the drive is scary

[@GeeTmbrTmby]

@@moodypet8837, it wasn’t scary for us as long as we stayed in the right half of the road and not taking the curves at 10-20 mph above the posted speed limit. Some drivers aren’t as cautious.

Hello from Ouray, Colorado! Thank you so much for your video about Tucson! I really enjoyed it. We just returned from 2 weeks of camping in Tucson. It was awesome to get out of our still lingering Colorado winter. But it was even more awesome to explore Tucson. We actually went there to check it out to consider moving there. I believe that will happen; but we'll wait until next year. I will he diving into more of your AZ videos! I have been a subscriber for over a year; but there are many more of your videos to check out.

[@Wilderness-Will]

He didn't say they were inside Saguaro NP... he listed the AZ-Son. Desert Museum, Saguaro National Park, and Old Tucson as three honorable mentions, likely because they're all technically outside of Tucscon proper. I appreciate the work you put into this comment. I wish you had taken the time to check your facts.

Thanks for talking about Tucson Metropolitan area. Pease do a better research about greater Tucson area. This is a 1.2 million inhabitants metro. Not 600,000 as you stated. Suburbs are not restricted to Pima County. PIMA alone has 1.1 million inhabitants, not 600, 000.That is what so many people think. That is wrong. Nogales is not Pima County, yet it is a Suburb. SaddleBrooke is not Pima County, yet it is Tucson Suburb.
