Do just about everything you want in southern Arizona on this trip. Head south out of Phoenix to Tucson, an area of unusual high desert scenery and classic western films. Visit Tombstone, home of the famed Gunfight at the OK Corral. Spend a day at Kartchner Caverns, an incredible cave system beneath the desert. Horseback rides, jeep tours and hot air ballooning add to the fun, or hike among the saguaros in the morning and snow ski in the afternoon. Family-oriented museums feature everything from outdoor wildlife to air and space museums. You can even take a day trip into Mexico if you like.

This trip is perfect for the winter and spring breaks. Visiting Tucson and the surrounding area will give you a taste of the wild Sonoran Desert, home of the giant Saguaro cacti. Family-oriented museums feature everything from outdoor wildlife to missiles to the world's largest outdoor airplane display. Wandering movie sets, visiting Tombstone, "The Town Too Tough To Die" or going underground at Kartchner Caverns round out the adventures.
