6th Annual SalsaFest
FUN for a Good Cause
The SalsaFest was great fun and a great success for the Graham County. Secretary of State Ken Bennett joined us as a celebrity judge for the Salsa Challenge and he even performed on the main stage. Funds were raised by the Lion’s Club to benefit our community. See photos from the festivities.
Can you handle the heat? Take a ride on the Old West Highway to the Arizona Salsa Trail.
Arizona’s Salsa Trail® is all about terrific Mexican food and down-home friendliness. Sprinkled through the small Southern Arizona communities of Safford, Pima, Thatcher, Solomon, Clifton, Duncan, Willcox, and York are a dozen Mexican restaurants, ready to serve you the finest Mexican food you’ve had.
In a world where change seems constant, the Salsa Trail has consistently offered good food and great service for decades. Chances are that the person who greets you, the waitress who serves your food, and the cook who prepares the traditional Mexican recipes, have been on the job for 10, 15, 20 years or more.
The scenic Old West Highway connects the communities and businesses which are within a 40 mile radius of Safford – about and hour and a half east and slightly north of Tucson.
In addition to good food and friendly folks, tourists are beginning to discover the natural beauty and tucked away attractions that dot the map along the Salsa Trail®. There are over 4 million acres of National Forest and protected Wilderness lands, pristine high desert beauty, the lush Gila Valley, and towering pines on Mount Graham. Graham County is filled with so many things to do throughout it’s little communities, and has some of the most beautiful scenic terrain in the entire Southwest. It’s no wonder first time visitors frequently come back for more. You can see all there is to do at www.VisitGrahamCounty.com.
