Tucson Mountain Park

 
Tucson Mountain Park covers about 20,000 acres of Sonoran Desert landscape, just west of Tucson. There is an extensive trail system for hiking, biking, and horseback riding, although many people come here simply to use the picnic areas and enjoy the sunsets. This is a day use park with picnic areas.

Most tourists come here to see the Old Tucson Movie Studios, or the Sonoran Desert Museum, both of which are located within the park.

Must-see attractions nearby:
Also located within the park, although less well known, is the Sonoran Arthropod Studies Institute, which features Community Days, when they are open to the public.

Mountain lions and bobcats, along with a host of other wildlife live in the park, although some are limited mainly to the most remote areas.
