As the cool breeze of fall sweeps through Oro Valley, locals are out and about, soaking up the beauty of our stunning desert landscape. Whether you’re hiking the breathtaking trails of Catalina State Park or exploring the ancient petroglyphs at Honeybee Canyon, there’s plenty to enjoy outdoors. But while you’re out there, don’t forget about the wildlife that calls this place home. Recent javelina incidents in Tucson and last year’s occurrences in our own backyard remind us to stay on our toes, whether we’re hiking or just walking around the neighborhood.

Discover the wonders of Oro Valley’s trail system, a stunning network of paths ready for your next adventure. These trails take you through breathtaking canyons, up majestic mountain peaks, past serene desert oases, and near ancient village ruins. Many locals miss out on these hidden treasures, often opting to stay in the city or relax at home. But the natural beauty waiting outside is hard to resist!
