Travel

Douglas, the premier southwestern border community, is located 118 miles southeast of Tucson, Arizona on the US-Mexico border. At an elevation of 3,900 feet, Douglas also offers a moderate climate, ambitious sports and recreation programs for children, and a solid school system. The lure of shopping and sightseeing in "Old Mexico" and close proximity to several outdoor recreation areas have made tourism and retirement significant to Douglas' economy. Many points of interest are nearby, among them the historic John Slaughter Ranch, the frontier mining town of Tombstone, ghost towns of Charleston and Dos Cabezas, Chiricahua Mountains for world-famous birding, hunting, fishing and sports, and historic Arizpe is a short drive into Sonora.
