Sweetwater Preserve is one of the best hiking spots in Tucson. If you’ve not yet been hiking or biking this beautiful collection of trails on 880 acres on the east side of the Tucson Mountains, you’re missing out!
The Desert Museum is part zoo, part natural history museum, part botanical garden, part aquarium, art gallery and institute. The majority of the museum is outdoors with plenty of paved and gravel trails to follow. I loved the native flowers and plants that filled the walkways. The Sonoran Desert proved once again to be an infinite source of inspiration for me.
