Camino de Oeste Trailhead
Hiking area
👍👍 It is one of the easiest and shortest hikes you can do in Tucson. But you get to see the Bowen Stone house, so it is well worth the hike.

Signal Hill
Historical landmark
👍👍 Signal Hill takes only maybe ten minutes to ascend and it's worth it. There are dozens of petroglyphs from simple designs to larger ornate ones. The view from the top is excellent in all directions. A restroom is available in the parking lot but it's only a single vault toilet so expect a line!

County government office
👍👍 Things are beautiful. Accessible to the disabled. But one problem exists. There are notices for no bicycles in park yet people ignore this and ride there bikes in there. This could affect the disabled and someone could get hurt.

Tanque Verde Falls
Tourist attraction
👍👍 It's a tough hike to the main falls if your clumsy but you can stumble your way there with patience hiking through the canyon. The short cut is worth it to save time but beware if you're not a fan of heights.
