Saguaro National Park is an impressive and worthy park to visit, but if you want an experience that is a little less crowded, with a canyon and seasonal creek, head to Sabino Canyon in the Catalina Foothills of Tucson, where the wildlife is abundant and the trails are seemingly never ending. We recommend visiting in May when the Saguaro cacti are in bloom.
Where to stay in Tucson? Tucked in the desert foothills of Tucson, Hacienda del Sol Guest Ranch is a wonderfully preserved Old West resort with plush beds and private patios looking out onto desert vistas. We loved roaming the meticulously maintained grounds, wandering from one charming adobe courtyard to another, on the lookout for road runners and hummingbirds. For a full throwback to what this place was like for Hollywood stars in the 40s, book the Hepburn-Tracy suite, which is the casita that Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy shacked up in on more than one occasion. A stay here is great for those looking for a classic Western experience, with all the modern amenities.
