For a spectacular drive with great scenery, take RT88 in the east valley up through Tortilla Flat for lunch. The keep going up to Roosevelt Lake. You will pass Canyon and Apache Lake and some of the most awesome scenery in Arizona.
Stop by AJI Sporting goods on Apache Trail if you wanna check out some guns...it's on your way to RT88. |

Pima Air Museum, Davis Monthan airplane boneyard, Titan II ICBM museum, all in the Tucson area, about 2 hours south. Scottsdale Gun Club, a tour of Dillon Precision, both in Scottsdale about five minutes apart. I Don't think the tours have started back up yet. Call first. |
