Hiking Through the Desert

These are some of the great hikes around Tucson!
2.7 miles out and back This is our favorite. Be prepared to do some mild climbs using cables! It's unique, challenging but totally worth the hike when seeing the view from the top! Bring PLENTY of water!

1.7 mile loop This hike is the closest to downtown Tucson and shows the city from above. It's a leisurely hike that is perfect for the morning then having a post hike lunch+brew downtown.

This is a scenic drive to one of the best lookout points in Tucson. There are different hikes along the way but I would recommend taking time out of the trip to walk around at this lookout and spend time enjoying the view.
