Day Trips

Day trips filled with natural beauty, history and culture

If you have more than few days in town, then a day trip – even a half-day trip - beyond the city is
highly recommended.

world’s largest collection of optical telescopes is located high above the Sonoran Desert
under some of the finest night skies in the world.”
