Graham County

Photos of Towns Northeast of Tucson
Set against the Gila River and majestic Mount Graham, the land comprising and surrounding the cities of Pima, Thatcher, and Safford is an historical homeland of the Apache Indians. Today, the area's natural wonders attract city dwellers seeking adventure and relaxation-backpacking through Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness, hiking alongside Bonita Creek, floating down Gila River, fishing on Roper Lake, or relaxing in natural hot mineral springs. Drive the Swift Trail (Hwy. 226) as it climbs up Mt. Graham to an elevation of 10,000 feet, home to Mount Graham International Observatory. Or take the path of history on the Coronado Trail (Hwy. 191).
