Snow should cover distant mountain peaks – not the driveway.
If your front yard makes you think along these lines, consider a getaway to Sierra Vista, Arizona. This tidy little city of 46,600 residents sits comfortably off the beaten tourist track. So, the cost of housing, groceries, dining, and entertainment is quite reasonable.
A scenic 80-mile drive southeast of Tucson, Sierra Vista has the clean, dry air of the high desert, and priceless views of the nearby Huachuca and Whetstone Mountains.
The area is rich with history and technological innovation. Nearby Fort Huachuca was established in 1877 as a cavalry post that served as a base for the famous buffalo soldiers and the campaign against Geronimo. The fort now is headquarters for several research and development programs.
The Sierra Vista area is perfect for a winter game of golf, touring (and sampling) wineries, or simply relaxing by the pool and watching the hummingbirds. For those who want to explore the outdoors, Cochise County is rich with parks and history. Ghost towns and old mines abound. You can take jeep tours along old wagon roads or hike mountain trails that lead to refreshing springs.
