In shortThe Catalina Foothills sit at the base of the Santa Catalina Mountains on the north side of town. Homes are spread out and the views are wide. Sabino Canyon is the obvious date here.
A first date idea
Sabino Canyon by shuttle
Sabino Canyon is closed to private cars, so you ride the open-air Sabino Canyon Crawler, about an hour round trip with nine stops and an audio tour. The visitor center at 5700 N. Sabino Canyon Rd. and the shuttles run from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Check times and prices before you go and bring plenty of water.
