Tucson

Tucson, AZ 85701

Tucson sits in the Sonoran Desert surrounded on all sides by mountains, with 350 days of sunshine a year and the country's largest population of saguaro cacti. Saguaro National Park flanks the city on both the east and west sides, offering more than 150 miles of trails through cactus forest and mountain foothills. Beyond the park, Tucson's draws include the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, Biosphere 2, the Pima Air & Space Museum, Old Tucson's Western movie studio, and a downtown arts and dining scene anchored by a food culture UNESCO has designated a City of Gastronomy, famous for its Sonoran hot dogs and Mexican food. It's also the gateway to Southern Arizona's wine country, mountain biking trails, and dark-sky stargazing.
