LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
Dusty Trail
Built in 1961, Trail Dust Town was originally best known as a collection of shops and restaurants—most notably people came from all over to eat at Pinnacle Peak Steakhouse—but that changed in the mid 90’s as the area started to become a source of entertainment with the addition of amusement park rides and shows. Now, it has become a must-see attraction in Tucson including a merry-go-round that was built in 1954 with its original horses still intact, a train that runs through the town, a Wild West Stunt show and other old western sights to behold. 14 W H E R E C I T Y N A M E I M O N T H Y E A R
Tucson’s Wild West
COWBOY BARS
The days of Western legends Wyatt Earp and Jesse James may be long gone but the spirit of the Old West is still alive in Tombstone, Trail Dust Town and Old Tucson Studios. While Tombstone may be the location of the O.K. Corral, and Trail Dust Town has an old fashioned train running through it, Old Tucson Studios has its fair share of Western ambience to experience as well. There you can find the set of more than 70 different television and movie locations as well as a tour that provides a deeper look at Old Tucson’s 75 years of film history.

MOUNT LEMMON— The great Mount
Lemmon is named after one of its first recorded conquerors: Sara Plummer Lemmon, a botanist who in 1881 became the first woman to reach its summit. Nowadays, you don’t have to be a pioneer to reach the 9,157-foot peak, but a daredevil streak doesn’t hurt. The Catalina Highway winds up, down and around Mount Lemmon, roller-coaster-style, coming to a halt in the little mountaintop town of Summerhaven. Gorgeous overlooks along the highway—with such curious names as Hoodoo at Windy Point, Sykes Knob and Inspiration Rock—afford miles long views of the city and desert below. Tanque Verde Road, northeast to Catalina Highway. Tucson Map F1 SAGUARO NATIONAL PARK— This
sprawling expanse of protected land filled with stately saguaro cacti flanks Tucson to the east and west. Separated
by the city, the eastern Rincon and western Tucson mountain ranges are about an hour drive apart. Both offer hiking, biking and horseback-riding trails, as well as loop roads for motorized expeditions. The Rincon district is the more ecologically diverse of the two areas, giving visitors the opportunity to experience low-lying desert and high-country forest in a single day. In the Tucson district, hundreds of petroglyphs left by ancient Native tribes can be spotted easily from the Signal Hill picnic site. www.nps.gov/sagu. Park headquarters: 3693 S.

Road Trips PATAGONIA LAKE— Rent a boat from the
marina to navigate along the 2.5-milelong lake. Set up camp and fish for dinner. www.azstateparks.com/patagonia-lake. 400 Patagonia Lake Road, Patagonia, 520.287.6965. Arizona Map E7
PHOENIX— Arizona’s capital city has
undergone a metamorphosis. The evidence is obvious: a light-rail masstransit system, the CityScape shopping and entertainment district, and several hotel and high-rise residential projects. There’s a great, gritty monthly spotlight on local artists called First Fridays, especially along Roosevelt Row and Grand Avenue, as well as such here-to-stay venues as Phoenix Art Museum, Heard Museum, Talking Stick Resort Arena (NBA Suns, WNBA Mercury), Chase Field (MLB Diamondbacks), Heritage Square and several performance theaters. Drive time from Tucson: 90 to 120 minutes. www.visit phoenix.com. Arizona Map C5 TOMBSTONE— This Old West town is
the site of the legendary gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Ideal stop en route to Bisbee. From Phoenix: Interstate 10 east to Highway 80 east, approximately 3 hours. www.tombstonechamber .com. Arizona Map X12
