The Wild West Lives in These Small Arizona Towns

09 Yuma

Located just north of the Mexican border, Yuma is a cultural melting pot with an enviable climate, earning it the title of "the sunniest place on earth" from the Guinness Book of World Records. A winter favorite, Yuma's fertile land produces about 90% of the nation's leafy greens. Unique experiences include dining in a date grove and enjoying water activities like tubing, canoeing, or speedboating on the Colorado River.
