Dove Mountain
Dove Mountain is a master-planned community located in Marana, Arizona, about 40 minutes outside of Tucson[1] and in the foothills of the Tortolita Mountains.[2] The area gets its name from the mountain range near which it is located, the Tortolita Mountains. The word tortolita means "little turtle dove" in Spanish, hence Dove Mountain.
