The summit of Picacho Peak

Eloy has a desert location in the middle of the Santa Cruz Flats, close to I-10 about half way (60 miles) between Tucson and Phoenix, 15 miles southeast of Casa Grande. The city center occupies about one square mile along Hwy 84, though the boundaries are much larger, extending north towards the I-10/I-8 intersection and south to the edge of the Sawtooth Mountains. Most lodging in town is along I-10, at exit 208 (Sunshine Blvd) and 200 (Sunland Gin Road). Area facilities include Eloy Municipal Airport and Robson Ranch Sports Club, which offers many fitness activities to residents and guests.

Eloy provides the closest accommodation to Picacho Peak State Park, a quick 13 mile drive southeast along the interstate; this popular location features hiking trails across the slopes of an ancient volcano. Other natural areas nearby are Sonoran Desert National Monument (35 miles) and Casa Grande Ruins National Monument (20 miles).
