Traveling to Tucson
By Caitlin Moore
Tucson, Arizona has a way of making other parts of the country seem
less than stellar, especially during the winter months. Sunny days,
ample outdoor opportunities and a vibrant community make this
desert oasis worth a visit, so don’t feel bad as you temporarily replace
your homeland with a climate and backdrop that are a little easier on
the senses.
Nothing is better than chasing down some fine weather after having
been shoveling snow, bundling up, and scraping your car for the past
few weeks or months. As you step into the realm of the 60’s and 70’s,
your mood will lift as your temperature does, and you’ll gladly shed
your layers as you grab your flip flops and sunglasses. All seasons
are desirable in their own way (summers are pretty steamy but some
people like that) but Tucson definitely tends to attract its fair share of
snowbirds.
The best way to immerse yourself in Tucson’s gifts is to put on your
sturdiest shoes and hit take advantage of the great outdoors. From
golf courses to Botanical Gardens, Zoos to hiking trails, everyone will
be inundated with opportunities to get some exercise while
reconnecting with Mother Nature. Coronado National Forest is great
for hiking, biking, picnicking and fishing, among other things. Mt.
Lemmon looms above, reaching an altitude of over 6,000 feet and
even accumulates enough snow to ski on during the winter.
Bicycle enthusiasts will feel right at home in Tucson, as many cyclists
tend to both travel and live here. Paths and off-road opportunities
accommodate every style and skill level, and frequent races, including
the Tour de Tucson that is held each November, nurture a competitive
yet friendly spirit. Whether you want to fit your regular bicycle workout
into your vacation or try something new while you have the chance, this
is the place to pedal your little heart out.
Culture mavens will also find ways to satisfy their urge to engage in a
few enriching activities thanks to the rich history and pulsating arts
community of Tucson. The University of Arizona Art Museum has an
impressive collection and several smaller galleries illustrate talented
local creative spirits. Military forts and adobe homes reflect the stories
of days gone by, as do the artifacts, books and letter preserved by the
state Historical Society. Basically, there’s a way to keep your brain
alive while you’re here, so balance your outdoor pursuits with those
that are mentally nourishing.
There’s plenty of time for pure fun and frivolity, too, including eye-
popping retail stores, sporting events, theatre and music, and many
yearly festivals and special events. One of the largest gem and
mineral shows in the world is held here each February, and takes
place at various locations across the city. Street fairs with merchants
and yummy food, a huge folk festival, and rodeo week are further
examples of Tucson’s sense of revelry, so plan a trip to coincide with
at least one of these to get a true picture of the town’s personality.
Tucson residents are proud of their home; from the giant A that
represents the University’s influence to the well-kept parks, this is a
busy little place that makes a perfect haven for vacationers seeking
relief from any number of things; bad weather, a hectic and stressful
schedule, or the simple monotony of being in one place for too long.
Most people know when it’s time for a break, and are wise to do
something about it.
A wonderful way to squeeze every drop of enjoyment from this trip
would be to rent a vacation home just off the beaten path so as to
enjoy a healthy dose of privacy and comfort in addition to all the
stimulating activities that the city will offer you. Imagine unpacking your
suitcase into a spacious house as opposed to a boxy hotel room, and
experiencing the option of cooking a meal in your kitchen, kicking back
on the patio, or soaking for a bit in your hot tub. Hopefully you’ll have
time for each of these simple luxuries, so clear a good block of time
from your schedule today so as to give Tucson it’s due.
The warm air, wide open spaces, laid-back vibe and impressive
number of Tucson Vacation Rentals have convinced scores of
travelers to head south for a bit, and you could be next. Start checking
out the situation, and let Tucson give you a sweet reprieve.
