7 days in Tucson Itinerary

One of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the country, Tucson is a city on a cultural crossroads, with European, Native American, Mexican, and Asian residents blending and sometimes conflicting with one another.

Get out of town with these interesting Tucson side-trips: Kartchner Caverns State Park (in Benson), Shamrock Farms (in Stanfield) and Sunset Trail (in Picacho). There's lots more to do: take in breathtaking views at Sabino Canyon, view the masterpieces at Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, take in nature's colorful creations at Tucson Botanical Gardens, and get outside with Outdoor Activities.
