Saguaro National Park

Explore the breathtaking beauty of Saguaro National Park in Tucson, Arizona, a haven for hikers of all skill levels. Discover a diverse landscape brimming with iconic saguaro cacti and unique Sonoran Desert wildlife. Choose from a variety of trails, including the moderate King Canyon & Gould Mine Loop, a 2.6-mile adventure that blends rocky terrain with easier paths, while the Gould Mine itself offers a peek into the area's mining history (exercise caution!). Be mindful of parking availability, especially near popular trailheads, and consider overflow options near the Red Hills Visitor Center.

For a less strenuous experience, consider the Desert Discovery Nature Trail, a short and informative loop perfect for families and leashed dogs, or the Valley View Overlook Trail, a 0.9-mile roundtrip hike leading to stunning panoramic views. For a dose of history and culture, the Signal Hill Trail provides easy access to ancient petroglyphs created by the Hohokam people. Finally, the Cactus Wren Trail connects to the top of Signal Hill.
