Favorite TrailsSaguaro National Park has many interesting trails to hike in both the Eastern and Western districts. I give you my two favorite trails one in Saguaro East on the left and one in Saguaro West on the right. Both of these trails can be hiked as a short one or two mile hike with great views. The Tanque Verde Ridge Trail is the major route into backcountry camping in Saguaro East. The King Canyon Trail connects with other trails to allow you to climb Wasson Peak the highest peak in Saguaro West. Remember you will find no water on any trails in Saguaro West and water in Saguaro East is spotty and usually only at Manning Camp (check at the visitor center for backcountry permits and water conditions at Manning Camp) which is a 16 mile hike one way and an elevation gain of over 4,000 feet. Please be aware of this when planning how far to hike. Trails in Saguaro West Short Trails in Saguaro East Long Trails in Saguaro East
