The Great outdoors

Saguaro, pronounced suh·waa·row, National Park is unique in that it is split into two parks, East and West.  These giant cactus are synonymous with the Desert Southwest and attract thousands of visitors each year.  With trails throughout, there will be no shortage of awe inspiring scenery.

Located just Northeast of Tucson in the Coronado National Forrest, Sabino Canyon Recreation Area affords visitors and locals alike the opportunity to take in everything the park has to offer. From the Seven Falls hike to the Bear Canyon Shuttle, there are plenty of activities to keep you busy.  Don't forget your camera or a good set of binoculars.

Located just over an hour South of Tucson and an hour West of Sierra Vista, Lake Patagonia State Park is an oasis in the desert. The State Park is ripe with wildlife viewing opportunities, hiking, camping, fishing, swimming, and boating. Plan ahead, because as you can imagine, it is a pretty popular location.

Located an hour North of Tucson, Mt. Lemmon is a favorite of locals. Significantly cooler in the summers with great hiking and rock climbing opportunities, it is the perfect getaway. Bike riders also love the challenge and when you reach the top, don't forget to take a ride on the ski lift.  Did I forget to mention that Mt. Lemmon is home to the furthest South ski resort in the country?  It is truly a wonderful place to make all kinds of memories.
