If you're a stargazer, Tucson is one of the best spots in the U.S. for astronomy. In 1972, Pima County enacted a "dark sky" code to regulate the brightness and number of outdoor bulbs to help local observatories like one at Kitt Peak. Tucson suffers from far less light pollution than most cities do, allowing stars and planets to shine through the darkness. And if you're looking for something to do during the day, we pulled together a list of our favorite outdoor activities.
