 John has always enjoyed his golf trips to the desert southwest.... we also had a fabulous trip to the Utah  parks a few years ago..... so when it came time to finally plan a trip SOMEWHERE over this winter/spring.... we ended up with a plan to visit Tucson.... we'd each only been there for 1 day.... many years ago while we visited Phoenix and the Grand Canyon......We selected a hotel near the foothills of the nearby mountains and began reading Trip Advisor for tips..... Hoping the photos still capture the place.....

We were able to find parking at each pull off since we were there in March.... not sure if that would be true during other times of the year.
