Sabino Canyon Recreation Area
We recommend getting tickets for the Sabino Canyon Crawler if you can. This is a narrated tram ride into the canyon that shares details about how Sabino Canyon was formed, what kind of plants and wildlife live in the canyon, seasonal changes that occur in the canyon, plus important historical and cultural information. Get tickets here: https://sabinocanyoncrawler.com/
Mount Lemmon
We recommend downloading the Mt. Lemmon Science Tour App before heading up to Mt. Lemmon. Listen along to the audio tour as you drive up the scenic byway. Mt. Lemmon has lots of hiking trails, beautiful vistas and picnic spots.
Pima Air & Space Museum
Mercado San Agustin
Check out Seis Kitchen, Presta Coffee Roasters, and La Estrella Bakery at the Mercado. You can also find MSA Annex a few blocks away from the Mercado. There are shops and eateries at the MSA Annex.
Tucson Mountain Stables

Saguaro National Park East
Catalina State Park
This is where our ceremony will take place. Also a great spot to visit before or after the wedding to do some hiking and see some Arizona wildflowers in bloom.
Picacho Peak State Park
This state park is a bit further out, but also should have some really nice spots to see wildflowers in bloom.
