Explore the desert mountain scenery along the Arizona Trail on a guided mountain bike with Southwest Trekking but be careful to avoid the spines of the lurking cacti lining the narrow trail paths, especially those of the notorious jumping cholla, aka the teddy bear cholla.
For an Old West experience, Old Tucson
has Western movie sets, golf panning and mock gunfights, while an hour’ s drive southwest lies Tombstone, site of the OK Corrall Gunfight. Visitors can enjoy daily re-enactments.
From shoot-outs to shooting par, Arizona hits the mark.
