The area is a naturalist's paradise. Outdoor attractions within a short distance of Herbert House include: the famous Sonoran Desert Museum, the spectacular Santa Catalina, Santa Rita and Tucson Mountains, the historic Mission San Xavier, Karchner Caverns, the San Pedro River Riparian preserve, and Arizona's upland wine country. The fascinating Mexican border town of Nogales is only 60 miles away, and historic Bisbee, Tubac and Tombstone are all within 1.5 hours of Tucson. The Chiracahua National Monument is within 2 hours drive, and ranks with the Grand Canyon and Sedona as one of Arizona's natural wonders. In the winter, tens of thousands of Sand Hill Cranes can be witnessed taking off every morning from wetlands near Bisbee. Cultural events include the Tour de Tucson bicycle race which begins and ends just a few blocks away, the eerily beautiful Dia de los Muertos procession in early November, and the innumerable arts events that take place downtown all year long.
