Movies

Take advantage of this weekend off before second session and go see the controversial 'South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut.' Although some may not like their brand of humor, it is hard not to enjoy the underlying messages throughout the film. 'South Park' debuted Wednesday and is currently showing at theaters throughout Tucson.

Hiking

With a weekend off you may be prone to sitting around the house loafing. Get out of Tucson's heat by taking a hike in the Catalina Mountains. There isn't a more perfect time of year to use nature's playground to your advantage. Hikes range from the relaxing flat trails surrounding the bottom of the mountain, to near vertical climbs near the top. For exact trail information see one of the Coronado National Forest rangers along the Catalina Highway.
