Kartchner Caverns State Park
Kartchner Caverns State Park opened in 1999. This stunning
limestone cave system is one of the top in the world. It has been
held from public view since its discovery and only recently
has been opened to reveal the caverns in near pristine condition.
Kartchner is a living limestone cave and as such is extremely
fragile. Exposure to the outside dry are could end its growth
and the exquisite formations it holds. Gorgeous clusters of
stalactites hang from the ceiling and the calcium carbonate formations
resemble marble when dripping with water.
Great effort has gone into preserving the cave; hermetically sealed
doors closing before the next doors open, the idea of course is to
maintain the humid interior of the cave. Misting systems have been
installed to assist in that effort.
The trail in the cave allows viewing but is designed to keep human
hands away from the more delicate formations.

How to stay in luxury hotels at hostel prices: Just like airlines want to fill up all of their seats, hotels want to fill up all of their rooms. It’s a better deal for them to have someone in the room for a discount price than to have the room empty for the night. If you know what you’re doing, you can literally stay in a 5 star hotel for the same price as a cheap motel or hostel
New in southern Arizona: Two Native American CASINOS
Now in the Tucson area total of four...More in the Phoenix area and around the state. Not the sparkle of Las Vegas...but for the gaming its there. Golf is still big, but not as expensive or exclusive as up around Scottsdale.
Difficult but not impossible housing; both prices on
purchasing and renting have gone up...a lot over the past couple of years...but where in the country hasn't it?
SNOWBIRDS...those coming to visit Tucson just for the winter months up North. Still a big factor in the area, both from the stand point of the economic value and strain on the resources to serve the community.
BIG FACTOR...the aging population moving to the desert for health, recreation, retirement...services are expanding but not at the rate or affordability as in the past years.
INTERESTING FACTOR from 2000 Census..
Tucson has almost 11,000 permanent homes vacant during part of the year waiting for their owners to return when the winter season hits up North.
