Exclusive Services
The park includes three miles of hiking trails, a historic rock dam, and two ramadas with grills. Restrooms are at the beginning of the trail. We suggest you start on the left side of the loop. Walk the path that goes between the restrooms and the first ramada. You'll get to enjoy some mature Saguaro Cacti and the historic rock dam. If you continue on, you will climb up to a higher elevation and enjoy views of three mountain ranges (The Catalinas, Tucson Mtns, and Tortolitas). At the start of the trail, there are some nice benches where you can rest. It is a bit confusing at certain points as to which way to go but try to watch for signs along the way. Some of them aren't really apparent unless you are looking for them.
