Hotels & Resorts in TucsonTucson sits in a valley, surrounded by four mountain ranges that dominate the landscape. The Santa Catalina Mountains’ cool air is a refreshing respite from the Arizona warmth, 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, where you can swim in clear pools and walk where ancient irrigation dams flowed and mammoths roamed. Catalina State Park affords some of the best views of the canyons and peaks, and bring you up close to a multitude of birds and animal species. |
