Tucson, the Old Pueblo, has seen a resurgence in recent years with the expansion of downtown, housing and business growth, and growing food and art scenes. It’s become a pretty cool place to visit and we want to highlight some of the amazing things you can do in the city! Let’s take a look.
Want to get some exercise while enjoying the cool mountain air? You won’t need to travel very far from Tucson since the Santa Catalina mountains are located just outside the city and offer a spectacular escape. Take a curvy drive up the mountain and hike one of a dozen or so trails that vary in length and difficulty.
Tucson has the advantage of being slightly more compact than the Phoenix-metro area and that makes cycling and tours an easier feat. Why not combine them for one fun bicycle tour? You’ll enjoy seeing the sights around town, exploring neighborhoods, and even learning a bit of the city’s history on a bike tour, like those offered by Tucson Bike Tours.
