Tucson, Arizona can offer you all of these and more. The climate is seasonal with mild winters and hot, dry summers. This makes it ideal for plenty of outdoor activities. If you like hiking and beautiful scenery, you will be spoiled for choice. Tucson is located on the Santa Cruz River and is surrounded by beautiful mountains: Rincon, Tucson, Santa Rita, Tortolita, and Santa Catalina, which has its own national park. You could also visit La Fiesta de los Vaqueros in February, or Pima County Fair in April.
If you prefer human history to natural history, check out Armory Park Historic Residential District, or Colonia Solana Residential Historic District. Like dog racing? Then take a trip to Tucson Greyhound Park. The local baseball team is the Sidewinders. If you prefer to participate rather than spectate in sports, you will find plenty of opportunities.
