Yuma is located near the confluence of the Gila and Colorado Rivers in the southwest corner of the state, on the border of California and near the border of Mexico (state of Sonora lies to the South, Baja California to the West).
The Colorado River, which defines the border between Arizona and California, runs along the city's northern edge.
Yuma is nearly equal distance between San Diego (180 miles) and Phoenix (178 miles). Also within a 300+ mile radius are Tucson, Las Vegas, Mexicali, Palm Springs, and Los Angeles.
Yuma (and all of Arizona) is in the Mountain time zone, and does not observe Daylight savings time.
