Spectacular vistas |
7180 North Alvernon Way (trailhead) Tucson, AZ 85718 United States +1 520 299 1771 |
This is a pretty fair climb, but it's worth all the sweating and panting it requires: the vistas from different vantage points are simply stunning. Once you're past the trailhead on Alvernon Way, you'll encounter a fork giving you the choice between the Finger Rock and the Pontatoc Trail. The Finger Rock Trail climbs about 4,000 feet in elevation, stretched over approximately five miles. The hike takes you along the saguaros, prickly pears and ocotillos of the Sonoran Desert vegetation zone up to the jagged, pine-covered peaks of the Catalina Mountains Review © 2007, Wcities |

Free nightly entertainment |
8000 North Campbell Avenue (Northern end of Campbell or Swan Road) Tucson, AZ 85718 United States |
Here's a Tucson attraction to confirm the old adage that the best things in life are free. Just drive north at sunset on either Campbell or Swan Road into the Catalina foothills past Sunrise/Skyline Drive, stop at the end of the road and look back to the south. The glittering lights spread across the valley will reveal how this once sleepy desert pueblo has grown into a big bustling city. The best time to do this is after dark. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A tram ride into the canyon |
5600 North Sabino Canyon Road Tucson, AZ 85750 United States +1 520 749 2861 / +1 520 749 2327 (Shuttle Information) http://www.fs.fed.us/r3/corona... |
Of all the natural attractions in and around Tucson, Sabino Canyon is certainly the most popular. This large chasm in the Santa Catalina Mountains is where ancient Hohokam people built irrigation dams while mammoths roamed the ground. Access is free, but there is a charge for parking. Highlights are swimming (conditions allowing) in clear pools after a six-mile hike to Seven Falls and summer evening shuttle rides by pre-paid reservations. Sabino tram and bear shuttles rides are available. Review © 2007, Wcities |
