Javelina Rocks
is a
fun place to explore right on the Cactus Forest Loop Drive
in the Rincon Mountain (East) District of the park.

A mile walk on the Cactus Forest Trail takes you to the half mile Lime Falls
trail. The falls were completely dry in early April when I was there.
As you can see, you may be sharing the trail
with horses.

This view of a
saguaro forest was taken from the end of the
Desert Ecology Trail. This short walk is found on the very scenic 9-mile
Bajada Loop in the Tucson Mountain (West) District of the park.

A mid-April visit found plenty
of Saguaro and Ocotillo in bloom. This picture
was taken on the Valley View Overlook Trail, an easy 1.5 mile round trip
which is also found on the Bajada Loop.
