Getting there from Scottsdale

A day run south from Scottsdale, booked by the hour

The 10 south is an easy run, which makes Tucson a same-day trip for a dinner or a game and an overnight for anything longer. Downtown parking is the part groups underestimate; a chauffeur drops at the door on Congress Street and collects at the same place.
