Full description

Begin your adventure by meandering through the Relics of the 17th century by visiting the Mission San Xavier del Bac, the oldest preserved European structure in the Southwest, located on the Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation.

Drive by Mission Gardens or Stjukshon, located on the base of Sentinel Peak Stjukshon. This site was the O'odham village's name in the late 1600's and you can admire what is still left of the historical remains today.

Head to your next location and marvel at the remains of the Presidio San Augustine de Tucson, the earliest European settlement in the Old Pueblo envisioned by the Spanish Captain Hugo O'Connor who is credited with the founding and naming of Tucson.

On to Tombstone. Enjoy free time to explore the boom mining town of Tombstone. Walk where the outlaws walked. Visit saloons, the Bird Cage Theatre, witness the reenactment of the shootout at the OK Corral, or perhaps you might like to take a ride on a real stagecoach.
