Tucson Airport Guide
Tucson’s attractions centre on its history and on the location in the Sonora Desert. Hiring a four wheel drive car and heading out of the city you can see natural wonders such as the Sabino Canyon on the northern fringe of Tucson. There, you can catch a tram that will take you through the canyon and the linked Bear Canyon for some spectacular sights. The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum has to be seen. Telling you all about the geology, natural history and human history of the region, it’s part zoo, part museum and part fun park.
