Yuma is a desert community on the Arizona-California
border, less than 30 mi (50 km) from Mexico. During the winter months the city
sees its population double as an influx of visitors make their way to West
Coast Arizona to enjoy Yuma's mild climate. Years before, the Gila River and
the Colorado
River converged nearby, making the city an important transportation and shipping
hub. While the Gila has since been diverted, remnants of the river can be visited
at McPhaul
Swinging Bridge to Nowhere, which now spans rock and sand instead of water.
Recreational opportunities are abundant thanks to the Colorado River, as it supports
fishing along the banks and jet boating with local tour companies. While visiting
the city, many people test their luck at the Paradise
Casino, tour the historic sites, such as the Yuma
Territorial Prison State Historic Park, and play a round of golf at the numerous
local golf
courses.
