Things To Do
4th Avenue
Historic Fourth Avenue is home to a number of restaurants, boutiques, and bars, as well as lots of fun murals. We love browsing for books at Antigone, getting tacos at Boca, and going to 80s Night at the Surly Wench.
MSA Annex
The MSA Annex is a cluster of shops and eateries on Tucson's west side, housed in modified shipping containers. We love visiting the bike shop here and stopping for coffee, lunch, or a drink.
Hotel Congress
This historic hotel is where John Dillinger and several of his gang were arrested in 1934. It's now home to a wonderful restaurant, the Cup Café, as well as a bar and a nightclub.
Saguaro National Park East
Come see the nation's largest cacti in all their glory! We love biking the 8-mile loop, but it also makes for a gorgeous drive.
Mount Lemmon
The hour-long drive up the Catalina Highway to the top of Mt. Lemmon is one of the most scenic routes in the country. There are many pull-offs and trailheads along the way, and there is a small community with a couple of shops and restaurants at the top. Alex dreams to bike to the top one day!
Arizona State Museum
This museum on UA's beautiful campus is internationally renowned for is archaeology collections! Katie volunteered in the Conservation Lab here while pursuing her Master's degree.
Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum
This beautiful indoor/outdoor museum is about a 40 minute drive west of Tucson and features gorgeous desert views and lots of fun critters.
