Tucson is surrounded by desert, but it also has grasslands, alpine forests, and a myriad of outdoor activities from horseback riding, hiking, snow skiing and even caving. Tucson is surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty including the Santa Catalina Mountains, Saguaro National Park, and the Sonoran Desert.
Tucson is often ranked as one of the Most Well-Read Cities in America – perhaps due to the presence of the University of Arizona. It is also an “artistic” big town with lots of craft stores, galleries and fairs.
Tucson and the surrounding area have the best sunsets. Matter of fact, if you like to enjoy the sunny days, Tucson offers 286+ glorious days of sun rays. Most days are crystal clear blue skies.
