One of the reasons why so many people vacation to a zip in Tucson is the fabulous weather that we enjoy here. 300 plus rain free days every year combined with the wonders of modern engineering and production means that in Tucson, we have created a virtual paradise compared to many other locations on the continent. There are plenty of people who live in Toronto lofts over the summer months and then sprint on south to enjoy the Arizona winter.

Of course, once you get to Tucson you will be looking for things to do. Well, why not stay in shape and have a good time, not to mention enjoy the fabulous weather, by engaging in one of the many excellent outdoor pursuits that can be found around the area? Forget about that spa package in Missouri, the outdoor opportunities in Tucson will leave you feeling just as healthy and it's all 100% natural. Let's take a look at the most popular things to do here.

Without doubt, number one on the list of outdoor adventures in Tucson is golf. Yes, we know that golf doesn't sound very adventurous, but hey it's still the best thing around here to do according to the numbers. Plenty of people spend the retirement money they earned working with industrial valves out on the beautiful courses Tucson has to offer, and they do so day in and day out. There is nothing like playing 18 holes on an oasis!

If you have always liked horseback riding, but were reluctant to undertake the costs of horse boarding in London Ontario or wherever you lived previously, then Tucson has a lot to offer you. Trail riding is a very popular form of outdoor adventure here, as people register and ride through guest ranches, resorts, and public stables. You can see the area just like the first explorers did, but without all of the dangers!

The many mesas and other outcrops around Tucson are perfect for those who love the rush of rock climbing. You can go for easy trips with guides and companies, or undertake a hair raising solo climb that is enough to give your mother in Hamilton anxiety attacks. Once you have climbed up the sheer face of a red rock mesa, no other climb will feel quite the same!

And of course the miles of trails all around Tucson are great for hiking, biking, and other outdoor adventure sports. Come enjoy them, or try out one of the other great outdoor activities popular in and around Tucson.
