Page 8 of 15

SAGUARO EAST (RINCON MOUNTAIN DISTRICT)

This section of the park is smaller and less visited the Saguaro West. However, if you have the time, it’s still worth the visit. And if you like the idea of backcountry camping, this is the place to do it (overnight camping is not permitted in Saguaro West).

CACTUS FOREST DRIVE

This is an 8-mile loop through Saguaro East. It’s one-way only, starting and ending at the visitor center. It is a paved road with plenty of pull-outs and viewpoints along the way.

Here are some things to do along the drive:

Desert Ecology Trail: short walking trail similar to the Desert Discovery Nature Trail in Saguaro West.

Javelina Rocks Overlook: climb up on top of the rocks for a view over Saguaro National Park and Tucson.
