Graham County, Arizona is a place where small town friendliness is the norm.
A lot of people have a notion of what “Hometown America” is and that is exactly what you will experience when you walk the streets of downtown Safford, stroll through the town square, and visit with the people you meet on the street.
Graham County has over 4 million acres of National Forest and protected Wilderness lands, pristine high desert beauty, the lush Gila Valley, and towering pines on Mount Graham. The beautiful scenery and diverse terrain makes Graham County an ideal place to hike, fish, camp, bird watch, kayak, relax in their hot springs, and enjoy the outdoors!
Discovery Park allows visitors to dive into the world of astronomy by enjoying exhibits, tours, and an interactive space shuttle simulator. From Discovery Park there are tours that go to Mt. Graham International Observatory, home to the largest telescope in the world. Graham County is also home to Arizona’s Salsa Trail® which is all about terrific Mexican food and down-home friendliness.
Arizona’s Salsa Trail is made up of a dozen Mom and Pop Mexican restaurants, a family owned tortilla factory, and a lady who grows chilies that are sprinkled through the small communities of southeastern Arizona. In a world where change seems constant, the constant on the Salsa Trail is good food and consistency of service that spans decades. There is an annual SalsaFest every September where people compete for the title of best salsa! |
