6King Canyon Trail To Wasson Peak, Saguaro National Park, Arizona
This is a strenuous, 7-mile round trip to Wasson Peak, a massive mountain summit with a height of 4,687 feet. It’s the highest of all the Tucson Mountains. Give yourself three to four hours and start your hike from the parking area across from the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.
This trail overlaps the popular King Canyon-Gould Mine Loop, which is another exceptional day hike. If you take the Gould Mine Trail back on your descent you could do both hikes together.
