Green Valley Recreation Trips

Trips & Tours

Our tours are organized and escorted by Pleasurebent Tours of Tucson. Green Valley Recreation has had a long term and very positive relationship with Pleasurebent Tours. Our tours leave from Desert Hills Social Center upper parking lot at the advertised time. The tours can be purchased at any Major Social Center office or online. The tour fee includes motor coach transportation, tour director, admissions, advertised meal (tax and tip) and driver tip. Because of the necessity of the tour company to pre-arrange and pre-pay for bus accommodations, admission tickets and meals, no refunds will be issued after the cancellation date stated on the reservation confirmation. All trips are open to GVR Members and their guests. You may register at any GVR Major Center.

6/7 Friday: Kitt Peak National Observatory Nighttime Tour — Travel to Kitt Peak National Observatory, located
at 7,000’ in the Quinlan Mountains, for this very special evening. We begin with a stop at their Visitor Center where
we will examine the exhibits that describe this national observatory and other interesting topics. We enjoy a light meal
and then an introduction to astronomy and the night sky will be given by a docent. Next, we learn how to identify
stars and the constellations. Once outdoors we will explore the night skies and view them with high-powered binoculars.
We then enter one of the domes to view through a telescope and observe the heavens in all of its grandeur. Come
along and discover your universe. Good walking shoes (closed toe), pants (not shorts) and a jacket are highly recommended. (In case of inclement weather we reserve the right to insert an alternate astronomy program presented by Kitt Peak). Fee for GVR members is $107 and bring a guest for $112.
