Tucson | 19 For a true taste of the Wild West, there's no town like Tucson. Granted, its pedestrian-focused Main Gate Square, Pima Air & Space Museum, and Titan Missile Museum are thriving studies in modernity, but its colorful past shines as brilliantly as the stars seen from the world's largest observatory, nearby Kitt Peak. Take a trip back to 1692 with a visit to the Mission San Xavier del Bac, poetically nicknamed the "White Dove of the Desert." Fast-forward to 1882 by stopping by the Tombstone Courthouse, where outlaws faced justice in "The Town Too Tough to Die" before having their stories set in stone in Boothill Graveyard. Or, write your own adventure in the Santa Catalina Mountains, home to America's southernmost ski destination. For aspiring hikers, Sabino Canyon is another popular site, and Seven Falls Trail has breathtaking views of its own—its prize perspective is of Bear Creek, Seven Falls, and the clear pools that invite you to take a dip along the way.
