Location
Sam Hughes Neighborhood - Tucson, AZ
Centrally located just a few blocks east of the University, Sam Hughes is an eclectic neighborhood of historic Spanish revivals, bungalows, and ranch homes with Himmel Park an easy 5 minute walk away. Sam Hughes is known for its quiet and walkable streets, and walking is the perfect pace to admire the architecture and desert landscape of the neighborhood.

Our Favorite Local Spots
Mariscos Baja Mar, 6211 E 22nd St
It might sound weird, but a cold and salty Mexican shrimp cocktail is one of the most refreshing meals to enjoy on a hot day. This shrimp truck is also conveniently located in the parking lot of a carniceria, if you are looking for meats to take back for the grill.
Sweetwater Preserve
The trailhead is a 30 minute drive from our home, and it is an easy and enjoyable trail to see dense stands of saguaro cactus. Many other trails connect to Saguaro Vista, but if we’re in a rush, we do the Saguaro Vista + Sun Circle Loop.
Gates Pass
Enjoy the scenic drive through Gates Pass, and stretch your legs on an easy trail through the cactus forest. This is one of Tucson’s best places to watch the sun set.
