Your Fun in the Sun Active Vacation starts here...

Spring break Tucson style! The FEST is a reunion of active friends, doing the activities we love to do and experiencing America’s wild west food, culture, and beauty.

Getaway for an active weekend in the Sonoran Desert in Tucson, Arizona! We’ll kick things off with a Mural Walk to experience Tucson’s art scene and a trail of vibrant murals. Then we’ll enjoy some of the best Mexican food in the nation!

Over the weekend, you’ll earn epic desert views in the Triple Tucson Hike Challenge, hiking in three beautiful parks in three days. You'll hike the east and west Saguaro National Parks and Sabino Canyon with four different hike distances to choose from a casual nature hike to a beginner's hike, a longer distance, and even a climb. There is a hike to suit everyone!

Along the long way, we’ll explore one of Tuscon’s most popular destinations – The Sonoran Desert Museum and you’ll have time on your own to check out other Tucson sights, relax and enjoy the sun on your face, and the trending food scene in the Old Pueblo (Tucson).
