Tucson

I’ve lived in AZ for most of my life. Tucson is very underrated. The mountains are beautiful and there is plenty of great hiking. It also has a younger, more progressive vibe than my hometown, Phoenix. There’s also loads to do around the city. (Desert Museum, San Xavier) I really enjoy going down to Tucson.

i just did a road trip here for a job interview from l.a. great weather, beautiful desert city. i liked what i saw. pretty place, friendly people.

When in Tucson, be sure to visit one of the many parks where you will find some great hiking, as well as, be able to view the famous Saguaro cactus!

I love Tucson!

• dry, clean air
• mountains
• warm
• clear, sunny skies
• Saguaro National Park
• eegee’s... I will stop in Tucson just to go here.

It looks amazing I want to take a trip out this summer and see just how bad the heat is and if I can stand it, and if I can I really may try moving here and see if it could be that place I’ve been looking for.

Tucson native, lived here 23 yrs before moving up to Denver. I’m back usually every year or two to visit family. Happy to help anyone find the good restaurants, etc.

It’s a great place, feels like a little town, avoid it from about May – late Aug unless you like > 100° weather. :) Perfect in March/April for spring. Anyway, lots of rich, Hispanic and Native American cultural influences.

The views of the desert in e.g. Saguaro Nat’l Monument or out west on the way to Old Tucson / Desert Museum are pretty amazing. Lots of great destinations in and near. Can’t miss “The White Dove of the Desert” San Xavier Mission. Sabino Canyon is great for hiking.

Also lots to see within a couple hours’ drive. If you can possibly see Karchner Caverns (reserve way way ahead of time) it is a must see.

And of course there’s the Sonoran Mexican style food. No place better for it, I think.

and also peaceful. I love it here.

i was ‘backpacking’ and found there were a lot of ‘backpackers’ who would winter there. reality: a lot of hippies and gutterpunks because it’s so moderate in cooler months. there was a lot of black tar heroin being used by the street community. people were friendly, but i definitely only saw one side of life when i was there, and it was at least a little bleak.

It is a magical place! there is hidden energy beneath the rocks and in the strange little shops. Drink lots of water, wear a big hat, and explore!!

Fun place to visit. I was with the Indiana university pepband performing for the NCAA tourney. A great trip, great places to visit and great people. There is just so much to do that I cannot even begin to tell you everything. Just go and be surprised…Maybe do like we did and play a little miniature golf as well.
