Mindful meoweler tips

The Sonoran hot dogs are a must-try!

Wrapped in bacon and topped with beans, onions and guacamole, these hot dogs are a Tucson specialty.

The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is a unique outdoor experience.

Featuring over 200 different native species, this living museum is a great place to learn about the desert.

Be prepared for the heat!

Tucson can get extremely hot and dry, so cat travelers should always carry water and seek shade when possible.

The University of Arizona campus is worth a visit.

Known for its beautiful brick buildings and stunning desert landscaping, the campus is a great place to take a walk.

The Mission San Xavier del Bac is a stunning example of baroque architecture.

The church, known as the 'White Dove of the Desert,' is an iconic Tucson landmark.
