Geocache Description:

Take a short tour of Tucson's religious architecture and history! This tour includes churches, a mosque, a cathedral and a garden. Enjoy the beautiful architecture, learn about the founding of Tucson's oldest Parish, a unique statue garden, and more. There are 6 stops, plus the final container. Total distance (as the crow flies) is 3.5 miles. Takes about an hour. Please mention your favorite stop in your log.

You do not have to be a religious person to enjoy this tour. Please note that this tour and its content is created purely for learning and enjoyment, and is not meant to either approve or disapprove of any particular religion.

Best to choose low traffic times, and parking may be dicey, so plan ahead at each location. These stops are located NORTH of Broadway Blvd, save one.

qbee37 noted on Nov 17, 2015: "NOTE: if the gates at the final are locked, it may be necessary to go around back to the bike path to get the cartridge to advance."

This WIG was inspired by one of our trackables, "Pretty Churches", TB3MCYE. Check its web page to see some nice photos.

Tips about Wherigos: 1) As with all Wherigos, make sure you have uploaded the most recent version of the cartridge before you go. Often COs make changes to the cartridge and if you have the older version you will have glitches when you go to use it. So just upload it again the day you plan to run it. 2) If you are at a zone and there is a glitch of some kind, step 30 feet away and try to enter the zone again. 3) Save frequently during cartridge use. 4) To learn more about Wherigos: http://www.wherigo.com/

To play the cartridge, you will need a Wherigo-enabled device. (For Andriod the app is called "WhereYouGo") info here

Many thanks again to Ranger Fox and his user-friendly Wherigo Kit!
