Try Tucson for Unique Activities and Sights

Only a two-hour flight from Denver, Arizona’s second-largest city offers a world away with things you can only eat, see, and do in this desert city.

Some highlights:

  1. Have you ever tasted a Sonoran dog? Or eaten round enchiladas with green olives? Sampled a mesquite mocktail? As a UNESCO City of Gastronomy—one of only two in the U.S.—you will leave a foodie as you sample bites throughout the city.

  2. If you’re thinking someday people will live on the moon or Mars, take a tour of Biosphere 2 in Oracle to find out how that little experiment went.

  3. Try skiing in a desert! OK, technically, once you drive up Mount Lemmon, you’ve left the desert below. This is the country’s southernmost ski resort and it’s open in winter with affordable lift tickets.
