USA Valley View Trail

Unique to the Sonoran Desert, giant saguaro cactus sometimes reach as high as 50 feet. This short loop hike offers spectacular views of the mountains, the Sonoran Desert, and expansive saguaro forests. The view from the ridge is superb, with Avra Valley below and Picacho Peak to the north. The trail is rough and uneven in places and contains rock steps.

From the Red Hills Visitor Center, drive northwest on N. Kinney Road for 1.6 miles (2.57 km). Turn right on Hohokam Road and drive 1.4 miles (2.25 km) to the trailhead.
