Oh, you might try to fill up on Mexican food in the area. Where's krp, he and a couple other guys mentioned some place, might be nearer to Phoenix though.
Krp mentioned a place in Globe/Miami which isn't the shortest drive from Tucson.
ETA The drive up to Globe is a nice drive if you enjoy the desert and mining. Also, lived there for a good chunk of time but my restaurants may be a bit dated.
Aha, I wasn't sure where that place was.
And yeah, time allowing, a person from MO might find going past Globe and another 60 or so miles to see the Salt River Canyon might find that impressive too.
Hell, I had to travel through there numerous times and I always found it impressive.
