Heard Museum Hour
A fast, fully air-conditioned dive into Southwest Native art and culture, capped with a cold drink nearby.
Beat the heat entirely by ducking into the Heard Museum for a focused loop through its galleries — enough time to take in a few standout exhibits without rushing. Afterward, stroll a few minutes (or hop in the car for under 5 minutes) to Fair Trade Cafe for a quick iced coffee or pastry in their shaded patio or full indoor seating before heading back out into the heat.
