Situated between the arid wilderness that is Saguaro National Park and Picacho Park State Park in southern Arizona’s barrenly beautiful Pima County is the charming community of Picture Rocks. Picture Rocks is a community comprised of approximately 9,000 residents less than 20 miles north from the city of Tucson.

Picture Rocks is one of the fastest growing communities in the state with many people flocking to the area because of its close proximity to Tucson, but also because of the massive growth that the county is experiencing as a whole. The rapid development that adjacent towns like Marana are going through has created a bevy of business and employment opportunities. Although many residents are still reliant of Tucson, the areas outside of that major metropolis are quickly becoming self-sustaining. Picture Rocks is close to many commercial and industrial districts where major multinational corporations and small local business alike make their home.

If you like exploring Arizona’s unique environment, than Picture Rocks is the perfect headquarters to set out on your adventure. Besides the aforementioned parks, the community is also just a short drive to other attractions like Coronado National Forest, Tortolita, Colossal Cave, and Tucson Mountain Parks, Pima County Fairgrounds, and the Sonoran Desert National Monument. Here you can enjoy some memorable camping experience complete with sleeping under the desert skies.
