Tucson
Arizona desert city ringed by Saguaro National Park, about two hours from Phoenix.
The Sun Link streetcar is free. It runs 3.9 miles and takes 30 minutes end to end. Sun Tran says its bus rides are free too. Most sights are away from the streetcar, so plan on a car or rideshare. The San Xavier mission is about 9 miles south of downtown. Entry is free, and the church is open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day.
Saguaro National Park costs $25 a vehicle for 7 days, and the pass covers both the West and East districts. It takes cards only, no cash. The Sabino Canyon tram is $15 for an adult. It does not include the $8 per vehicle Sabino Canyon Recreation Area fee. The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is $29.95 for ages 13 to 64. From October to May it is open 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Old Tucson's page says it is not open for general daytime admission. It lists studio tours, Ghost Tours and Nightfall evenings instead. June averages a high of 101.2 F and July 100.2 F, and October averages 86.3 F. The Mount Lemmon highway is paved, but it may close after snowstorms.
