Tucson At Its Best HOP
March 14, 2015

After a busy week at Escapade, take a relaxing HOP or two. Let us do the driving; sit back, relax and enjoy! HOPs are fun and exciting when you share them with your fellow SKP friends.

Board a luxury coach with a local tour guide, and enjoy the scenic view of the beautiful countryside, including the mountains, deserts, and learn about the rich western heritage of Tucson.

On the excursion you will enjoy:

The architectural history of the “Mansions on Main Street”.
The University of Arizona is rich with history. One of the two mast bells from the U.S.S. Arizona is part of the bell tower of the Student Union. The university also receives more NASA grants than any other university in the United States.
The original building of the Presidio San Agustin del Tucson was built in the 18^th century by Spanish solders.
The beautiful Mission San Xavier del Bac also known as “The White Dove of the Desert”, was built in the 1700s. It’s a National Historic Landmark and was founded as a Catholic mission. The mission is considered to be the finest example of the Spanish Colonial architecture.
"A" Mountain, also known as Sentinel Peak is a beautiful panoramic view of Tucson and the surrounding area.
Visit several of the “saloon” venues.
