The eastern (Rincon Mountain) region offers more extensive mountain wilderness and backcountry trails. There are several peaks over 8,000 feet. Try the heart-pounding the 8.8-mile Douglas Spring Trail or the 11-mile Tanque Verde Ridge Trail
Summers are hotter than hot at Saguaro, so bring three times the water you think you need and get an early start. Fall and spring are ideal times for a visit. If you go in the spring, the Sonora desert will regale you with a full bloom of desert wildflowers.
