- Greetings from Tucson! Tucson is located in Southern Arizona and is the second most populated city in the state. The city is surrounded by mountains, is home to millions of saguaro cacti, is a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, and is one of the sunniest cities in the US. And we spent two days experiencing some of the top sights, trying an iconic food item, and getting out in nature!

Thank you for showing love to my city💚💜💙🐾 TUCKTOWN 520 STAZ ( south Tucson Arizona)
Thank you for watching!!
Just found your channel. Your vlog skills are superb. We spent 10 months straight in our van with our two dogs last year incl 3 months in Arizona. We spent about a month in and around Tucson; we loved it! We're actually going to move there after this year's travels. Such a unique place. Anyways, we went to Alaska too for about two months and a few weeks coming back through the Yukon and BC. It was mind-blowing. Have fun on your travels. Our country is so beautiful!
Beautifully done! I’m in Tucson visiting, my daughter goes to school here and I absolutely adore Tucson! One question, who’s taking your pics from the back or front when you are walking? Just curious 🤨
We use a tripod 😃
It’s so nice to see Tucson get the appreciation it deserves. Born and raised, I love it here :)
Facts
Oro Valley gang here
@@justyngordon510 me too, but I’m a picture rocks girl at heart :)
It's great until you have to travel down oracle to get anywhere you want to go from oro valley into Tucson
Southside Tucson all day
YOU GUYS ARE IN MY BELOVED HOMETOWN!! I am so proud of Tucson, it’s truly so special, for nature, food, weather, music and hiking!!
Tucson seriously has it all! We loved it!
🤘✌
Tucson Native as well
@@AdventuresofAplusK I love that you loved it!! You guys went to some of the best places in my book! I grew up at yes the base of Mt Lemmon!! So happy you got up to Summerhaven and enjoyed a cookie at the cookie cabin! Hope you got to hike some of Marshall Gulch as well, but if not there’s always next time! Also, highly recommend Le Buzz Cafe next time you visit, if you haven’t been already. Also Seis Kitchen for some awesome fresh Mexican food. I always love y’all’s videos, especially your hiking videos because you guys are real experts!! Can’t wait for your Alaska journey 😍
We looooove Seis kitchen! We went on our first trip and were so bummed to not make it back this last time. Thank you for all of the tips! We look forward to coming back 🙌🏼
I got recommended this video on my feed, and I wanted to say thank you for featuring Tucson. It’s my hometown, and to see people get so excited about the city and the mountain just makes me really happy.
Thank you so much for watching!
it's easy to take your hometown for granted but this made me appreciate it in a whole new way. going to go out of the way to do some new things next time i visit!
I'm so glad you guys had fun :) amazing channel and content!
That means a lot! We love getting people excited to visit places, but also love when we can make locals appreciate their home even more.
I just moved to the Midwest after living in Tucson my entire life. While this didn’t help with being homesick, it was beautiful to watch. I’m glad you guys enjoyed!
Thank you for watching!
I live in the Midwest and I want to move to Arizona, lol. So sick of the cold!
I go back and forth. I love both. The culture in southern AZ can be offputting at times, but it really has one of the most unique landscapes in the world. I get homesick for the mountains all the time!
@@Building-IT the heat is hard to deal with sometimes, that’s for sure. The only weather there is “Excruciatingly hot or still really hot” 😅
@@haydencook682 I think that’s what was getting me, the culture can be extremely off putting and I was born and raised there. The crime in Tucson is getting out of control. Especially within the last few years. I think I miss the mountains and Mexican food the most haha
No lie you guys are making me cry with heart warm thank you for the love and the support for my city. Tucson AZ 520.
💗💗💗 We had such a great time!
I could see Mt. Lemon from Oro Valley, I looked up there every morning when I was there, loved the sunsets too.
Native Indigenous Tucsonan here! Awesome video showcasing Tucson. You should pretty much all my favorites. Safe travels!
We are so glad you enjoyed it!
Living here is easy to forget the beauty I am surrounded by. I love watching other people’s reactions to our city. Thank you for this.
Thank you for watching!
Oh man was this vlog ever awesome!!! Wow the scenery is just beautiful there in Arizona! You did an amazing job of capturing it! Also you had my mouth watering several times during this vlog! 🤤 You’re both amazing at describing food! I’m gonna go eat lunch now….sadly it won’t be those amazing looking hotdogs that you had.
We are so glad you enjoyed it Brad! Those Sonoran hot dogs were SO good, we could've had about 10 more!
Greetings from Tucson thank you my City's beautiful proud to be a Tucson-ian
What a wonderful visit to Tucson. My hometown is so wonderful and you did it justice. Thank you for taking the time to explore and show this beautiful area with such enthusiasm.
I just moved back home and that’s what I’ve been looking forward to eating 🤤🌭
This is why I'm proud to be a 4th generation Tucsonian 🌵😎 #wearingflipflopstoday
I grew up in Tucson and definitely remember days of playing in the snow on Mt Lemmon, then coming down and going swimming on the same day!
Glad you enjoyed it here in Tucson, I love it here. Hopefully you guys can make it back and experience our monsoon season.
Oh I remember those from when I lived in Phoenix!
@@AdventuresofAplusK incredible to see the monsoons rolling in from "A" mountain.
Hi! Tucson native here! Fun tip about the eeggees, some stores will still have reserves of the previous month’s “flavor of the month” within the first week or so into the new month. Last month was the cherry limeade flavor (the literal best in my opinion) so delicious!! 🤤
Adam had cherry limeade a couple days before filming this and loved it!
EEGEE'S WHORE HERE!! 🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️ Orange Dreeeeam!! 🍊
Eegees is my addiction I like lucky like piña colada mango tango watermelon with tajin are better is not a commercial lol
From a native to Tucson, thanks you guys for showing the love of my hometown.
Thank you for making this beautiful video of my home town!! Also the construction everywhere is cracking me up!! Embodies that the construction is Tucson never ends! Welcome to Tucson! 🌵🌞❤️
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Planning a visit to Tucson in a few weeks. Now I have a list of things to see and do.
Have a great time!
Thank you for doing my home town proud. It's wonderful seeing Tucson getting the love it deserves!
Shhh... there's enough people here already lol
I am SCREAMING at my phone right now. I’m from Tucson born & raised and a HUGE Sonoran hot dog lover. It was so nice to see you guys didn’t go to the infamous Mexican restaurants we have for a Sonoran hot dog, but to a local hot dog cart. That’s the way it should be! And that’s where they’re the best! So glad you guys chose the right place
We are so glad to get a local’s approval for our pick! We love checking out the popular spots, but prefer visiting a super local spot when we can!
Great feature on my hometown! Tucson is a gem. Hope you had a great time.
Great video! Those mountains and the waterfall were beautiful!
Super fun video! Looks like you're having a great time.... I've never been super excited the past trips I've taken to Arizona, but they were for work and not adventure. I'd try again for sure! Hikes looked nice, and the iceess too ! Holy cow the guy rock climbing!!! I can imagine what it was like seeing it in person. Gulp. Nice trail dancing!
It’s definitely much more fun to travel for adventure! I always hated when I went to places for work and couldn’t explore!
I lived in Tucson for 25 years and spent many weekends with my kids and a USGS map exploring all of southern Arizona from Yuma To Show Low down to Mexico ! We saw many amazing things .
Thank you for highlighting many of the marvels of my beloved town in this video! Especially with a nexus to Phoenix... 😉. All too often, visitors come through in bad seasons, miss the marks, and want to trash Tucson. Thanks for putting in the research and time to highlight the things we love about living here!
So glad for your wonderful review of my beloved Hometown! Thanks! ❤👍
hi from tucson! you guys did a great job showing off this beautiful city!
Thank you Anna! We really appreciate it!
Loved the video! And always love seeing Kona in the snow!❤️
Kona in the snow is our favorite! ❤️
BIG THANK YOU from the Ding Tea Tucson family! It was a pleasure having you two in during your visit ❤️ We hope to have you back next time you’re in town!
Thanks for sharing always a pleasure to see great scenery and historical places as well.
Love the video!! Grew up near Tucson. You guys definitely hit some of Tucson's amazing spots. I need to make the drive south to revisit Sabino Canyon and the Seven Falls! Awesome video!!
Thank you so much Amy!
SO awesome to see our city get some love! You guys nailed it!!! Let us know next time you're in town, maybe we could show you a few of our favorite spots :) Your channel reminds us of a more matured version of ours, we've got a ways to go, keep up the great work!
Thank you for the kind words!
Y'all are too cool for the room in your 😎! I so enjoy the information you give on all the sites you visit! Kona loves him some snow! Fantastic video! Looks like a great place to visit! Just beautiful!!!
Kona is a little snow bunny! Haha
Glad you enjoyed our cool town. Looking forward to your next video!
Another great video guys. Look forward to the next one. Cheers from Australia
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
I live in Tucson and absolutely LOVE it here! So glad you enjoyed it :) There's sooo mch more to see and do, HIGHLY recommend the desert museum, biosphere 2, pima air and space museum, wild west type places(there's a few), mexican food at the many many amazing mexican restaurants and so much more, if you had more time!
Thank you for such a beautiful presentation of our community that we love so much!
I've lived in Tucson my whole life and it is always wonderful seeing people showcase all that we have to offer
I love Tucson!! I maybe bias though since I’m from here. You did Tucson justice and I also learned new things. From hiking to the beautiful sunsets to the Mexican heritage you both explore it all. I hope you all felt like family here.
Thank you so much! We really enjoyed it!
Ok, now I'm hungry... 🤤 That hot dog looked amazing!! Thanks for sharing your adventures in Tucson!
Another wonderful video!! We loved San Xavier del Bac when we visited there. Tucson is a really special city. Thank again!!
Such a gorgeous mission!
Thank you for visiting and having respect to the City of Tucson. 520💚
I love Tucson. It’s chill but fun. Great for outdoors and biking. Not super political. People get along well. Artsy and good food. Lots of healthy food choices and markets. Views are gorgeous. And our sunsets are breathtaking beauty
I live on Tanque Verde and Bear Canyon! So weird to see the stuff I see every day on my TV lol! I’m glad you guys liked it here, Tucson is a beautiful place, it’s easy to take for granted, but seeing it through someone else’s POV made me want to stay here for a long time ❤️
Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you so much for all the work you put into taking us along with you on your adventures! I ❤️ Adventures of A+K!!!
Thank you so much for the support! Truly means the world to us ❤️
My home town! Thanks for visiting, hope you both enjoyed!
Omg! You two are such a cute couple, you made me laugh at the end. I’m so happy I came across your channel! I’ve been loving your travel adventures. What beautiful sunrises 🌅 you showed us. Your cute lil dog was really enjoying the snow. Thank you so much for sharing with us. 👍🏼😊 Happy and safe travels to you both.😊
We are so glad you have you along for the ride!
I live in Tucson and this is a fantastic video! Unfortunately the Welcome to Tucson mural was vandalized yesterday 😥
Oh no! 😭
As someone who lives in Tucson, this was a great video. I love this city. 😁
That means a lot, thank you!
Thanks for mentioning the Cookie Cabin and giving us such a wonderful review. My family runs it and we’re really proud of our little restaurant :)
So nice to see the beautiful city where I lived for ten years. My favorite place!
Awesome video of my hometown, makes me a little home sick! You guys are doing Tucson right!!!
Thank you so much Natalie!
Girl I know what you mean
live and stay here currently but this video made me cry
I know what I'll be missing if I were to leave Tucson. 520💚
Next time you are in Arizona You should take route 83 from Tucson to Sonoita then head to Patagonia. Beautiful drive and cute town.
Parker canyon lake and Huachuca mountains too
Wow so very beautiful. I loved the part where Kona was loving the snow.
Kona in the snow makes us so happy!
always cool to see an outsider's perspective of your city, this is a pretty good representation of Tucson!
If you make to Southern California let's connect for a hike!
That would be super fun! What part of SoCal do you live in?
This would be an AWESOME collaboration!!!
This would be exciting!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Basically right in between LA and Joshua Tree National Park haha so if you are visiting either of those it could be fun to meet up for a hike!
Glad you like our state but if you get to California, with all due respect leave arixona out of it, child, we are plumb full here in az
You make the most ordinary places look extraordinary! Great job!!!
This was a great snapshot of Tucson. Thank you 🌵🏜
Beautiful natures. That waterfall is wow!
Just caught up with the last three videos. I'm always amazed about all these amazing places, food, laughter, and the perfect choice of upbeat music to create such amazing travel vlogs. Oops... How did I forget to add the funny bloopers. 🤣 Thank you both for your dedicated work to share with us. 👏❤👍 I'm now hungry for a Sonoran Hot Dog! 🌭 YUM!!!
Hahaha the bloopers are our fav! 😂 Thanks so much for watching!
Loved this vlog! I lived in Tucson in college and it is such an amazing city! Super missing it! Next time you guys are there you should do the Tanque Verde trail! It also ends in a beautiful desert waterfall!
We had looked into that one, it looks great!
Sis no lie this s*** made me cry this is my city. So beautiful, can't imagine living anywhere else and if I do I will always come back here. 520 💚
why did you leave?
This is where I live. It's easy to take for granted things you see everyday but this reminded me how special my city is.
We are glad to help remind you 😃
Awesome, very proud of my home for the last 60+ years! Thank you guys!
Love the puppy play time! Beautiful sights!
🐶🥰
Wow, that opening scene took me by surprise! We really ummed and aaahed about driving down to Saguaro NP for the day (from Phoenix) at the end of our 2019 road trip, but decided against it due to it being mid August, but this time of year looks to be perfect in that area! Really loved Mount Lemon and how bio-diverse the area is. With the snow at the top, even more of a better reason for you guys visiting in winter. The hike to the waterfall was beautiful too. Couldn't notice the odd shot of the 2 of you waaay off in the distance walking - that was some real commitment to go back for the camera 🙏🙌 Have to say, the Eegee's drinks looked so unhealthy (like if you turned off the light, they'd glow in the dark) so was pleasantly surprised to learn they're made from real fruit!
We thought of you when we were playing in the snow since we know you've only ever visited this region when it is SUPER hot! Definitely recommend AZ in the winter, it's much more bearable and still mega sunny! We agree the Eegee's looks like it wouldn't be healthy haha and while it's not the same as eating fruit, it's dang good!
They are. Used to love them but waaay to sweet for me now days
Nice picture painted of Tucson. Born and raised here. Love my city. It’s one of those that if you leave, if you return it kinda greets you with open arms. Thank you for the beautiful video. 🤍
Fun video! That hot dog did look yummy! Have to say, that guy that fell from the rock caught me by surprise too!! Can't imagine being there in person and seeing that!
We are so surprised we caught it on camera!
Tucson area is beautiful! I didn’t know about Sabino Canyon when I was there just recently! Guess it’s a good excuse to visit Tucson again!😃
It may have been our favorite area! So beautiful in the canyon!
Yes come back and visit our beautiful city 520💚
It’s always great to see my home featured so beautifully!!
Thank you for highlighting our wonderful city of Tucson. So much to love in the desert! We love living by Mt. Lemmon, since we are originally from Minnesota! And thank you for the outtakes at the end...loved those!!
We love Minnesota as well!!
Born and Raised here and I am proud that it's getting it's mention and popularity it deserves ❤️
Never have traveled to Arizona so different than living in NEast ! Another fun experience on your travels but miss tasting all the good food you find. You really are such fun & enjoy seeing what you finding out there!
Thank you for watching Cris!
As my cousin lives in Tucson, I can preach about the greatness of a Sonoran Hot Dog..
Beautiful share my friend, fantastic video, amazing city in sunset, fantastic street pictures.
Have a wonderful day to you.
Thank you!
A dog (plus cute Kono’s snow love), cookie and a great hike makes for a fabulous day.
We agree!
Sonoran hotdogs should have their own food category. Ty for the hard work you both do on all your videos
They were so good! Thank you for watching Justin!
Eegees, Sonoran hot dog and oatmeal raisin cookies in my hometown! Wonderful video. Don’t feel bad Adam, I’m sitting in my recliner weeks after the fact 1200 miles away and my heart started racing too. I did not want to see someone die before my morning coffee.
Even though we knew he was attached via a rope, it was still terrifying!
520 💚 love here
They also forgot to buy some popovers(frybread)
the sugar / meet version. the best
I’ve lived in Tucson all my life. Thanks for highlighting my favorite spots in the city I love.
I just love you guys highlighted everything amazing about our city !!! 😍😍😍
thank you for watching!
Love Tucson!!! What a wonderful melting pot of beauty culture flora food history etc😃
It seriously has it all!
Yes it is that is why I love my home/city. 520💚
Oatmeal raisin is the best!
Adam let out a big "alright!!!" when I read this to him. #teamoatmealraisin
Great videos, happy to have spotted you❤️👏👏❤️
So glad you enjoyed your stay here in my beautiful home town 🤠
This makes me want to go to Tucson and do all the hiking and eat all the yummy food!
There is so much to do there and soooo many incredible food spots we didn’t get to visit.
On an average day it is beautiful especially on Sundays... 520💚
