Tucson, the second largest city in the state of Arizona, is characterized by desert landscape and an Old West mystique. For active travelers who enjoy some adventurous activities, it is worth visiting Sabino Canyon and Seven Falls for great hiking trails. If an adventure of the creative soul is what you look for, the city likes to venture into different art forms. Tucson Festival of Books, held annually in March, is the fourth largest book festival in the US.
