A 1-2 mile gorgeous hike amongst the saguaros just 26 minutes from the Casita. This trail involves some climbing, so those of you with bad knees might want to skip this one. If you are visiting during Monsoon season, there may be water so bring shoes that can get wet & a swimsuit so you can take a dip!
BRING LOTS OF WATER & snacks. More than you think you need. Tucson is hot and dry. Your sweat dries so quickly that you won't notice you are dehydrated till it is too late.

Great view of the city. Not really a "hike", more like a scenic "makeout spot" (albeit not very private) with little walking paths. Accessible by car and near some good restaurants. Park and walk a bit at sunset. Close to downtown.

Food scene
Drive-thru Ramen! I like to order ahead and then drive through and pick it up. They separate the noodles, so don't worry about your noodles getting soggy. Salty and pork is a little fatty, but I love it as a fast-food option - 10 minutes from Casita.
