Hiking

Tucson is home to the nation's largest cacti. The giant saguaro is the universal symbol of the American west. These majestic plants, found only in a small portion of the United States, are protected by Saguaro National Park, to the east and west of the modern city of Tucson. Here you have a chance to see these enormous cacti, silhouetted by the beauty of a magnificent desert sunset.

One of our favorite places to hike. Beautiful Saguaros, mountains, sunsets. The trails range from short & easy to long & challenging. There is a trail called roller coaster that even my blind dog could hike. Go mid week when there aren't as many people. Try to time it around sunset.
