Things to do in Yuma, Arizona

Rubbing up against the borders of both California and Mexico, Yuma is a Colorado River city in the far southwest of Arizona. The top attraction here is the Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park, which houses the atmospheric ruins of a true Wild West Prison.

Also worth a look is the Colorado River State Historic Park, which preserves historic buildings and explains Yuma’s 19th century history as a supply depot. Steamships came up the Colorado River to Yuma, from where supplies were sent to military bases across the West.

The Yuma accommodation options best rated by guests are the TownePlace Suites and the La Quinta.
