Located about three and a half hours west of Tucson, Yuma is probably a little far for a day trip but would certainly make a good weekend or overnight fun destination. The town offers excellent year-round water sports on the Colorado River and families can have fun visiting the Castle Dome Mine Museum, the Children’s Museum of Yuma County, and the interesting Cloud Museum which boasts an array of ancient autos. Yuma is also your gateway to several wilderness areas where you can go hiking, biking and wildlife watching – try Cibola National Wildlife Refuge and Imperial Sand Dunes. You can take a nostalgic stroll along Main Street in the heart of Old Yuma to enjoy varied shopping, entertainment and dining.
