ABOUT TUCSON Tucson, known as the “Old Pueblo,” offers visitors a striking blend of contrasts shaped by a distinctive heritage and accessible natural wonders. Regional architecture, cuisine, music and art reflect the colorful and varied past of our Native American, Spanish, Mexican and Western pioneer ancestors. The area surrounding Sentinel Peak just west of downtown has been inhabited for an estimated 3,000 years and is considered the city’s birthplace. Irishman Hugh O’Connor, who served in the Spanish army, founded present-day Tucson August 20, 1775. He established the legendary walled Presidio de San Agustin which is commemorated in the historic downtown El Presidio neighborhood. Residents actively support local arts – the city’s own fine symphony, ballet, opera, theater and avantgarde art scene have made Tucson a thriving cultural center. ✪ Come visit Far Horizons 49er Village RV Resort, our active family resort, in the historic Sierra Foothills of California. It is a full-service, destination RV Resort conveniently located in the heart of the historic California Gold Country — where, it all began 150 years ago with the discovery of gold in 1848. Money magazine recently named California’s Amador County as “One of the Best Places to Visit in North America,” citing area wineries, history and recreation. Today, the Sierra Foothills still offer ample discoveries for visitors. Experience the underground world of a hardrock miner in an actual mine setting or taste the new California Gold: wines from the 30 award-winning wineries of the Shenandoah Valley. Four USGA golf courses are within 30 minutes of our facility.
