10 days in Tucson Itinerary

One of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the country, Tucson is a city on a cultural crossroads, with European, Native American, Mexican, and Asian residents blending and sometimes conflicting with one another.

Get out of town with these interesting Tucson side-trips: Tombstone (Tombstone's Historama, O.K. Corral, &more) and Benson (Double R Ranch & Kartchner Caverns State Park). There's lots more to do: take a memorable drive along Mt. Lemmon Scenic Byway, indulge your senses at Arizona Winery Tours, stroll around Tohono Chul, and stop by Madaras Gallery.
