AAA Four Diamond. 1 2 3 Tucson is a destination whose charm extends above the horizon, sitting in a valley that's surrounded by four mountain ranges. The Santa Catalina Mountains' cool air is a refreshing respite, and its 150 miles of scenic hiking trails take you from cactus-lined passes to pine forests and lakes high above. This mountain range's Sabino Canyon is quite popular; you can swim in clear pools and walk where ancient irrigation dams flowed and mammoths roamed. Mount Lemmon in the Coronado National Forest is a mountain oasis that offers a bird's-eye view of Tucson, and a temperate climate because of its altitude. In fact, Mount Lemmon is popular for skiing in winter months, though its ski lifts run all year-round, revealing the gorgeous landscape. Tucson's aesthetic beauty is matched by its vibrant artistic community and youthful culture. Tucson's main attraction is the Mission San Xavier del Bac, one of the premier examples of Mexican folk architecture. Another popular destination is the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, both a museum and a zoo, thanks to its extensive collection of desert animals. There is no better way to view Tucson's clear skies than from the Kitt Peak National Observatory, the world's largest observatory. 0 1/2 miles 0 1/2 km 10 10 19 77 77 77 Catalina State Park S O U T H T U C S O N O R O VA L L E Y K I N O J AY N E S E. 22nd St. W.
