General Information: ***********************************************

The Academy Village is located some 25 miles from down town Tucson, off of Old Spanish Trail 7 miles beyond the entrance to the Saguaro National Park East.

In the map below it's location is indicated by the red oval. The Rincon Mountains North and East of the Village are one of the scenic attractions to the site.

The map shows most of the east side of Tucson. The Arizona University Campus is just to the left of the large T in TUCSON, between Speedway and 6th Avenue North South and between Campbell and Euclid East West. Down town Tucson is a mile west of Euclid along Broadway to the I10 Interstate. The scale of this map can be judged from the fact that Major streets indicated on this map are 1 mile apart.
