| Yuma, Arizona -- you may think it's just a hot, dry desert place with a Colorado River Crossing -- the Southern gateway to California -- but it's much more.
It's a National Heritage Area, the habitat for more than 380 species of birds, the winter home to 95,000 Snow Birds escaping the frozen North and, according to Farmer's Almanac, it has the best weather in the country.
Perhaps that’s why it’s the country’s highest producer of winter vegetables — particularly lettuce. Every January Yuma celebrates its leafy #1 ranking with "Lettuce Days" -– a weekend celebration of all things green, wholesome and healthy.
Join Travelscope host Joseph Rosendo in Yuma, Arizona for a taste
of the area's attractions and fun and sun of Lettuce Days.
