Yuma, Arizona Things To Do - Page 3 |

| Yuma Dove Hunting - the beginning of dove season often results in crowded restaurants and "no vacancy" signs at local hotels, especially if September 1 falls on a weekend. Yuma remains a prime dove-hunting area because of agriculture and the large amounts of acreage still devoted to grain farming on both sides of the border. Grain fields provide nesting cover and food for the two main species hunted here, the mourning dove and the white-winged dove. Dove hunting is a good introduction to hunting for a new hunter. There are a lot of targets. Doves are not very sophisticated birds. Minor mistakes can be made, and still have a successful hunt. Dove hunting is an authentic hunting experience. |

| Historic Downtown Yuma - At the end of the Gila Trail, Main Street has always been the heart of “old Yuma.” In 1849, more than 60,000 California-bound gold-seekers followed this path to the rope ferry across the Colorado River. Being so close to the river, downtown often flooded and its adobe buildings melted back into mud. Because the last “big one” was in 1916, most Main Street buildings now date from the 1920s. Today, Yuma’s historic downtown offers a wide variety of shopping, dining and entertainment |

| Pivot Point Plaza - The outdoor exhibit area opened in 2010 where Madison Avenue meets the river - the exact site where the first railroad train entered Arizona in 1877. The plaza preserves one of the few remaining artifacts of the original rail line, the concrete pivot on which the rail bridge turned to allow boats to pass. But it's also a scenic outdoor museum, with colorful panels that explain the importance of the Yuma Crossing National Historic Landmark. |
