Once again, we can take pride in the knowledge that Tucson's best shops were founded right here in the city. Summit Hut is more than a camping store; within their outdoorsy walls is a wide variety of supplies for running, climbing and traveling—and knowledgeable, helpful salespeople who will help you sort through all the options. Plus, their technology and food sections are always a good time. Southwestern corn chowder in a bag, anyone?
