Things to do in Tucson, Arizona (AZ): The Best Biking Trails

January 11, 2022 Renato Branum

Although Tucson's fantastic weather, national parks and forests and desert provide the perfect environment for tons of outdoor recreational activities, this city of half a million people also has its share of history and culture. With a history that goes back much further than many of its southwestern neighbors, Tucson boasts turn-of-the-century architecture, historic neighborhoods, museums and the Mission San Xavier del Bac, a still-functioning 18th-century mission considered one of the most beautiful in the U.S. Mexican and Native American influences are pervasive, and the city has a distinctly Western flavor. There's also a college-town atmosphere, thanks to the University of Arizona, which has its own share of museums and a science center. Whether golfing at a world-class golf resort, horseback riding, hiking in the wilderness, discovering desert flora and fauna at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum or exploring pre-Columbian and other art at the Tucson Art Museum, you'll have a mind-boggling array of things to do.

Julian Wash Greenway

Reviewed By robbygc - Toronto, Canada

This is the Julian Wash Trail. We took my best shoes. It was easy. We saw two bridges. The mountains were attractive! We walked mostly on the road. There were flowers and cacti. For thousands of years,the Santa Cruz river and Julian Wash had provided a reliable source of water. I liked it! Worthwhile!
