Southern Arizona Towns: Tubac, Nogales, Patagonia & More

In this Arizona road trip we explore Tubac, Nogales, Patagonia and some of the missions along the way. This area of Southern Arizona is much more lush than other parts of the Sonora desert and do experience more Monsoons. The area is also higher in elevation than other parts of the desert. This is Arizona wine country down here.

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.

[@YourBestHopesWellnessCoach]

Your video have helped solidified my decisions to move there and specifically to Green Valley. So this one was especially appreciated!

[@mj-ls7qr8xp3n]

Tubac is so fun!

[@roc2coffee]

I’ve lived in Cave Creek nearly 25 years as a coffee roaster, but have recently bought a place in Patagonia. It is a beautiful area called “Sky Islands”. There are more species of animals & birds than anywhere in the USA. So many places to explore and hike. I highly recommend a visit!

[@mj-ls7qr8xp3n]

I'm looking for small acreage. I have goats I'm not turning loose of, lol. Is this area conducive to that? Any forage or hay resources to your knowledge?? Thnx. -)

[@artchick5898206]

Benjamin, great meeting you during your visit to Tubac. Thanks for sharing our wonderful little Art & History community!

[@gbryant261]

We moved to Green Valley this past winter and just love this area of Arizona. Wish we had known about SW Arizona years ago. Certainly not Phoenix. Going to send this video to friends and family back east.

[@mwc1987]

Don’t forget that Tubac is also one of the filming locations of Tin Cup. They filmed the famed club breaking scene at the golf course there as well as the scene where Costner hits a 3 wood, as Craig Stadler challenges him after Don Johnson’s character laid up, onto the green over water. Tubac also has some really good food! Fun place.

I’m watching from Auckland NZ, must put this on my bucket list, the place looks a lot greener, than I was expecting, and has plenty of the old type of history that interest me. How safe is Nogales, for foreigner? Excellent film will definitely plan to visit this part of Arizona

Another great video. So many wonderful sites and scenery. Yes, I am adding it to my growing list of places to visit in AZ. Thank you. Wishing you a super week. Stay safe. Hugs Susan

[@IAm1InTheIAm]

Hi, new sub. Really enjoyed this. I spent a winter in Green Valley working at the horsepistol there and got to know the area. Couple things to mention: Tupac has a pretty amazing car show every year, world class. Patagonia has a special bird sanctuary well worth the visit, too. The wineries, at this time, are trying, but not exactly up to quality yet. Nice little part of AZ like you showed 👍

Great video, Jeff. It was great to see all the interesting places in the south. I was hoping, when you mentioned Sierra Vista in the beginning, that you would show and talk a bit more about that town. Is it possible that that is all you can say about it, that it is a military town?

Please know as a longtime visitor to Tubac, there is somewhat of a conflict over the correct pronunciation of Tubac. Some of us oldtimers have always pronounced Tubac as Tu-back. It's been a way of knowing who is new vs who has been around.

[@louisedole7179]

Visting these towns is one thing, but living there is whole different experience, and usually it's not good from a white perspective. There is alot of poverty and abuse , and crime nestled within the general population. I used to live in Santa Fe, NM and I can tell you, that it is a beautiful cultural and artistic and historic experience, but you also have to be able to handle the ignorance of the native locals.

[@deannl.4492]

Alot of history there, as well, Mc Culloch and C.V. Woods were instrumental in moving the London bridge there. My uncle was the project manager for developing the town there in 1972, after he left, picking the site of, naming, and being the President of Magic Mountain, in Valencia, California.
