Hittin’ the Trails 4 You – Brown Mountain Trail | Community

TUCSON, Ariz (KVOA) — We’re hittin’ the trails today in the Tucson Mountains at the Brown Mountain Trail.

The trail starts at the Juan Santa Cruz picnic area. You can expect a well-maintained trail that features several switchbacks.

This hike is a 4-mile round-trip trek, and surprisingly it’s not very strenuous. It’s rated easy to moderate in skill level.

As a bonus, you will encounter spectacular saguaros and desert flora. Also, you will have great panoramic views of Tucson Mountain Park at the top.

Hikers say it’s a big payoff for not a lot of work, and parking is free!
