A placid picnic spot with vault toilets and nice desert views

The Mica View Picnic Area has a few shaded places to enjoy a picnic, but the star is the Mica View Trail. It's an easy, 1.5 mile round trip hike through the saguaros. The path is flat, wide, and made of gravel, making this an ADA-accessible trail.

Enjoy climbing around these ancient rock formations, which are a window into Saguaro's unique geological history. This is a particularly good spot for enjoying a sunset, with open views of much of the Cactus Forest Loop area.

A picnic area with covered tables and a restroom, as well as the Tanque Verde trailhead. The entire Tanque Verde Trail is over 17 miles long, an adventure that crosses through multiple ecosystems between saguaro desert to alpine forest. Even if you do the first couple miles, you'll see the saguaros disappear and replaced with scrubland. Wide open views, nearby mountains, and incredible scenery make this a fitting grand finale to the tour.
