Activities and Attractions
Vail's close location to Tucson provides many opportunities to enjoy cultural events and historical attractions. An outdoor lifestyle is the norm in Vail, and nearby places offer year round recreation. Mt. Lemmon is close and perfect for winter downhill skiing. The little-known Charron Vineyards is one of Southern Arizona’s oldest vineyards. Colossal Cave Mountain Park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and certainly worth exploring. The cave, one of the largest dry caves in North America, was officially "discovered" in 1879, but artifacts and soot-blackened ceilings show it was used by prehistoric cultures.
