Terms and Conditions for Tucson Up Close

Mission Statement

TucsonUpClose.com, a division of Picture Rocks Networking LLC, was created with the purpose of promoting the city where we live: Tucson Arizona.

Whether for helpful tips, related recreational areas, all kinds of things to do and places to visit. Along with added fun and/or useful items for those who are considering a trip to Tucson AZ. Or even for residents, who would like to get to know more about their town.

We do this by offering, we think, the best website resource available, with any device. To enable people to have the best all-around source of information for their own knowledge, needed information, tips, related trips, adventures and experiences.

Our aim is to provide valuable, helpful information about Tucson Arizona. Plus any related findings to interested people for their tourist, touring, travel, and recreational value. As well as natural, conservation and ecological purposes.

In doing so, we continuously research what's needed to provide this information. That includes current events, identification of things to do, regional interests, food-related local cultures, touring, and/or finding the best places to stay and the best places to eat.

We typically personally experience what we speak about here at TucsonUpClose.com. But sometimes we also authentically research related areas when we do not have personal knowledge, for certain situations related to Tucson. In doing this we interact with other people of similar interest, as well as researchers locally, throughout the country, and internationally. To discover their own experiences and takes on their travel in, and knowledge of Tucson.

We don't claim to be specific scientific specialists, or historians. But we do have many experiences we can use to relate to for information on our pages. When we use sources, be assured they are the most authentic sources.

If we discover errors, we fix them asap. Our aim is to be as accurate and genuine as possible. It's why we provide documentation when needed, on our Bibliography page.

We add our own photographs  whenever possible. And we use some taken by our friends and relatives - with their permission. We also locate other photographs that reflect our discussed topics. Details discussed below under Website Media, below.
