A few days around Tuscon
We are planning a trip to the Tuscon area Feb 11-13 from Sun City. We are first time snowbirds to Arizona and would appreciate any points of interest that we should see.
My husband is in a wheelchair...so accessibility is a consideration. We have been to the Botanical gardens in Phx, so may skip the desert museum for this time. We do want to go to the Tubac art fair, so have booked the Holiday Inn Exp in Green valley for 2 nights.
Any must do/must see's would be appreciated. Also..any restaurants...?
Many thanks

I have not been to the Phx Botanical Gardens but I'd give the Desert Museum a second thought. It really is unique and quite interesting, not your typical botanical garden (though I like those a lot as well).
Since you're going to Tubac continue down a few miles to visit Tumacácori National Historical Park:

In Tubac have a meal at Elvira's for sure!
Have a great trip.

Yes, Sabino Canyon, and we also always enjoy the spectacular views on the drive up Mt. Lemmon:

Also, Tucson is only about 70 miles from Tombsone and another 23 miles to Bisbee--two interesting towns.
