Located near the convergence of the Gila and Colorado Rivers in the southwest corner of Arizona, on the border of California and close to the border of Mexico, Yuma was for more than five centuries an oasis for travelers, explorers and adventurers. Today’s Yuma is a modern city that recognizes its rich history with a number of museums, parks, and heritage areas. It is a fun place to vacation, with its lively riverfront, and many parks and recreation areas. Between the huge desert just outside of the city with dunes that reach 300 feet, and its close proximity to the mighty Colorado River, reclaimed wetlands, and historic ghost mining towns, Yuma has something for everyone.
