Things to Do
Saguaro National Park Tucson Mountain District (West) Visitor Center
If you have time check out the East side park as well. A wonderful place to soak up the Sonoran Desert scenery
Prep and Pastry
Great Brunch place near downtown and the U of A campus
Borderlands Brewery
Great Brewery in Downtown Tucson. You can walk to many other breweries from here and there are a ton of amazing restaurants along the way.
Tap and Bottle
Great local watering hole walking distance from downtown Tucson or the U of A campus and the artsy 4th ave district
The Desert Museum
A great place for anyone that has not been to the Sonoran Desert before
San Xavier Del Bac Mission
Mission San Xavier del Bac is an historic Spanish Catholic mission located about 10 miles south of downtown Tucson, Arizona, on the Tohono O'odham Nation San Xavier Indian Reservation
La Encantada
La Encantada provides a luxury shopping experience in a tranquil setting offering breathtaking views of the Catalina Mountains. La Encantada is the Foothill’s premier dining destination
Sabino Canyon Coronado National Forest
A wonderful place to hike and take in the beauty of the Sonoran Desert. The Seven Falls hike is my personal favorite :)
Catalina State Park
This is a wonderful area to hike in as well. I like Romero Pools personally but if you are feeling adventurous you can take the trail all the way up to Mount Lemon from here.
Tubac
Nestled between the Tumacacori and Santa Rita mountain ranges, Tubac is a small community known as the place where art and history meet. Established in 1752 as a Spanish Presidio, Tubac has since transformed into the premier destination in Southern Arizona for culture, history, and art. The Tubac Golf Resort and Spa is a great place to have lunch after or before exploring the town
El Charro
Family-run Mexican cafe serving Sonoran-style fare inside a charming, century-old home.
Mi Nidito
A Tucson staple for authentic Mexican food
Tohono Chul
Tohono Chul is a botanical garden, nature preserve and cultural museum located in Casas Adobes, a suburb of Tucson, Arizona. The words "tohono chul" translate as "desert corner" and are borrowed from the language of the Tohono O’odham, the indigenous people of southern Arizona. Walk around their beautiful grounds or grab a bite to eat at their picturesque and delicious bistro.
Bisbee
Whimsical, colorful, and a perhaps a little haunted, Bisbee is anything but an ordinary destination. As with all worthwhile treasures, Bisbee is a hidden gem tucked just beyond the point where you think you’ve gone too far as you approach Arizona’s southernmost border. In Bisbee, however, there’s no such thing as going too far; unless of course, you live more than 70 steps up on one of Bisbee’s 350 historic staircases. Recently voted “Best Historic Small Town in America” by USA Today Readers and “Frommer’s Best Places to Go in 2018, Bisbee is a unique place where the past collides with the present in a kaleidoscope of passion, art, color and kindness.
