Things to do in Tucson
Welcome to Tucson
If you like sunny and warm, you’ll love Tucson, Arizona. With more than 350 days of sunshine a year, Tucson can brag about being one of the sunniest cities in the United States. All that warm weather makes for plenty of opportunities to get outdoors. The bike scene moves at a fast speed offering roughly 500 miles of dedicated bike lanes for residents and visitors to roll along. Tucson is also surrounded by five mountain ranges; the Rincon Mountains, the Tucson Mountains, the Santa Catalina Mountains, the Santa Rita Mountains and the Tortolita Mountains. The combination creates a spectacular skyline while providing practically endless options for hiking, mountain biking, and other outdoorsy things to do.

When to visit
To avoid the grueling summer heat, visit Tucson in the spring and you’ll be rewarded with blue skies, warm weather, and blooming wildflowers. Alternatively, plan a trip for early to mid-fall, when it’s pleasantly cool in the mountains and warm—but not too hot—in the desert.
