About the Area

With the sun shining over 91% of the year, Yuma is one of the sunniest places in the US. Located between San Diego and Phoenix, you can easily enjoy both on your time off! One of the biggest draws in AZ is grabbing an ATV at the Imperial Sand Dunes. Take advantage of the Colorado River where you have access to boating, jet skiing, floating, or take a dip at one of the beaches. There is also breweries, Casino, and award-winning cuisine! Being a "Yuman" is an experience like none other!
