Tubac, Arizona makes for a wonderful day trip from Phoenix, Arizona.

Tubac is 45 minutes south of Tucson, sits on a beautiful valley floor that peers onto 10,000 ft peaks, and also boasts a healthy, and growing artist colony.

We left for Tubac at 7:00, on a Saturday morning, and arrived at our destination at 10:00.  The drive is a fairly flat drive, with quite a number of majestic mountain to gaze upon.  We made the trip in February, and were rewarded with beautiful snow covered peaks in Tucson, and again as we approached Tubac.

We made our journey during Tubac’s 51st Annual Festival of the Arts, but you will be rewarded with a great many artist boutiques regardless of what time of the year you venture Tubac’s way.

If you are a lover of art, and desire to find a collection of artists in one location, Tubac just might be your ticket.  We greatly enjoyed our visit, and we are sure you will too.
