Tucson offers a warm retreat to thaw out from the rigid demands of law school. A visit to Tucson, in southern Arizona, takes visitors back to the times of the Old West, with images of legendary cowboys and Indians. The city is replete with scenic preserves, history, adventure, and magnificent ways to relax.

The Sonoran Desert, which surrounds Tucson, is one of only three spots in the world where the majestic saguaro cactus grows. These tall and ancient cacti stand in the shadows of five mountain ranges, which cradle the Tucson valley, and are showered with sunshine over 300 days a year.

Tucson has something for every law student looking for a complete getaway experience. Students can enjoy hands-on museums and lush desert gardens, exciting recreational activities, fine dining, enriching culture and heritage themed events -- all among ample natural beauty. Lovers of the outdoors flock to bird watching, stargazing, rock climbing and mountain biking. Golfers can putt year-round among the saguaro cacti at scenic desert courses.
