"New Discoveries in Old Pueblo" Chapter Overnight Ride to Tucson, Arizona

Tucson’s nickname is “the Old Pueblo”, and its history does indeed go back to ancient times…From prehistory to modern times Tucson has been a haven in the desert to people with many different origins, cultures, and ideas. It is a truly diverse city with a long history of independent people meeting challenges through hard work and innovation.  Join TTHOG as we explore the natural beauty and history of Tucson. 

When making your hotel reservation, please ask for Amanda to facilitate your reservation at the Best Western.

Due to weather conditions, we have modified our route traveling south thru Socorro to Hatch. After a lunch stop, we'll head west on I -10 thru Lordsburg and into Tucson. Upon arrival at the hotel, the group will discuss options for group riding on Saturday, and dinner plans for Friday and Saturday.
