Packing Suggestions

Attire for the conference is mountain casual (no ties!) In late October, we can expect cool, dry days and clear, crisp evenings. Most conference events will occur indoors, but you will want to be prepared to enjoy the clean, mountain air. Bring your swimsuit for use in the heated, outdoor pools and hot tubs, as well as shoes and clothing appropriate for your favorite outdoor recreation activities. We will be at about 2,000 feet of elevation, so make sure to bring sunscreen and wear it when outdoors during the day. We suggest that you give your body some time to acclimate to the altitude before drinking alcoholic beverages (at least a day or two). Headaches are a common occurrence among those new to the mountains and are generally due to dehydration, so drink lots of water.

Recreational Activities

A wide range of recreational activities are available. Starr Pass offers horseback riding, biking, swimming (check out the heated Monsoon Falls Waterslide as well as outdoor pool), hiking, jogging/fitness trail, the Hashani Spa (massage, facials, Ayurvedic treatments), tennis, and golf at the Starr Pass Golf Course. A few of the attractions and landmarks in the Tucson area include the Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum, Pima Air & Space Museum, Saguaro National Park West, Colossal Cave Mountain Park, and Old Town Artisans.
