Things To Do
Loews Ventana Canyon Resort
We recommend spending most of your trip at the resort. You can walk out the back doors and step into the natural beauty of the Sonoran desert. This environmental award winning resort is inspired by nature and the surrounding saguaro cactus and constructed to blend into the southwestern landscape. The resort is a dark sky certified destination, so the views remain spectacular after dark. Consider exploring short paved guided or unguided tours of the property. Hike the endless natural hiking trails including the Ventana Canyon Trail itself. Enjoy a swim in the two heated pools or hot and cold plunges. Recline on the luxurious pool deck and take in the spectacular scenery all around you. Perhaps you will decide to play a round of golf on one of the two PGA, Tom Fazio-designed courses, take in a game of tennis or pickleball, or book an appointment at the full-service spa. We strongly recommend enjoying this magnificent resort.
Sabino Canyon
Sabino Canyon is one of the premier natural areas in Southern Arizona. Located at the base of the Santa Catalina Mountains, Sabino Canon provides an unforgettable outdoor experience for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike. We recommend taking the shuttle up the mountain, and walking down a few stops before reboarding the shuttle.
Mount Lemmon
Mount Lemmon is near Tucson, Arizona, is a popular "sky island" mountain in the Santa Catalina Range, offering a dramatic climate shift from desert to conifer forest, cooler temperatures, hiking and climbing. Mount Lemmon is famous for its stunning views, diverse ecosystems, challenging cycling climbs, and unique sky-island ecosystem that feels like a world away from the desert below.

Guests will enjoy a quintessential Sonoran Desert experience which includes: an unforgettable fusion zoo, botanical garden, natural history museum, aquarium, and art gallery.
