Arizona road trip: Day 7: Tucson

Posted on 10:32 PM by
We spend our seventh day in Tucson.

Budget:



Day's total: $180.32

Trip total: $1580.83 (Still on budget!)

Highlights:

1) Best Western Plus InnSuites Tucson Foothills swimming pool
Sun was shining outside yet again? We decided to spend the morning at the pool. We love that most Best Western Hotels have pools because really all kids want to do on a road trip is swim!

2) Beyond Bread picnic
Beyond Bread is a family-owned business with three locations in Tucson. We want to have a picnic at Sabino Canyon and we hear they have good sandwiches so we head for the N. Campbell location near our hotel. The kids order PB&Js and my husband and I get grilled salmon salads that come with one of the bakery's thick slices of freshly baked bread. 

Sabino Canyon is a desert oasis located in Coronado's National Forest. The dry-sandy landscape dotted with saguaro cactus, some reaching 70 feet tall, is gorgeous and extends up into the craggy Santa Catalina Mountains.

A tram offers rides along a paved road up into the canyon but we decide to hit the trail and walk.  

Here are a few photos from our hike...
