Western Horizon Resorts Casa Grande is located
in the heart of Arizonas Golden Corridor, in an area where
guests can explore the Grand Canyon, visit the historic Casa Grande
Indian ruins, and enjoy activities on Lakes Pleasant, Powell, and
Saguaro. Nearby are Phoenix, Tucson, Sedona, and the magnificent
surrounding Red Rock Country. Made up of two of the fastest growing
metropolitan areas in the nation, Phoenix and Tucson, the Golden
Corridor is bright city lights and modern urban pleasures with a
Southwestern flavor. Here, youll find waterskiing, fishing,
and boating in magnificent lake recreation areas, and snow sports
in high wilderness areas. Down in the valleys, youll find
more heart-stopping golf courses than just about anywhere in the
world.
South of Casa Grande, in Tucson Mountain Park, visitors can tour
the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, an exciting mix of museum, zoo,
botanical garden, mineral collection, and aquarium. Also in the
park is Old Tucson, a nearly full-scale replica of Tucson as it
was in the 1860s. It was originally built as a movie set in 1939
for the big budget motion picture Arizona, and now serves as a year-round
Old West amusement park, complete with daily gunfights.
In this area, too, is one of the most intriguing pre-historic ruins
in the United States. Built by the Hohokam Indians, a tribe that
disappeared centuries ago, the unique structure rears up four stories
from the desert floor. Father Kino discovered the structure in 1694
and named it Casa Grande. Built around 1350 A.D., anthropologists
are uncertain whether the structure was used for a multi-story dwelling,
lookout tower, ceremonial site, or an astronomical observatory. |
