It is easy! Much of the best hiking destinations near Tucson involves driving deep into canyons to access steep hiking trails. Canoa Hills Trails Park is located right off of Interstate 19 only 30 miles south of Tucson in Green Valley, Arizona.

The hikes are all relatively flat and paved, which is perfect for toddlers and young kids. Wildlife is abundant, and you are likely to see migrating birds, lizards, and tons of quail.

What do you need to know before visiting Canoa Hills Trails Park?

The park is not staffed and is open sun-up to sun-down. The hiking paths are paved and wheelchair/stroller accessible. There are a couple of steep sections, so be ready to lend a helping hand if needed.

Canoa Hills Trails Park has approximately 5.5 miles of walking paths, picnic tables and benches, and beautiful views of Mount Wrightson and Elephant’s Head.

The park is right in the heart of Green Valley, so there are stores and restaurants aplenty! We are big fans of Manuel’s Restaurant for traditional Mexican food and La Vakita Meat Market for general Mexican groceries and their famous carne seca!

What should you do when you get to Canoa Hills Trails Park?

Hike! Because the park is in an old golf course, the paths follow a familiar pattern as they wander along the old course.

The park is largely exposed to the sun, so sunscreen, hats, etc. are highly recommended! We love stopping by the park when we are just looking to get some steps in or when grandma and grandpa (or the kids), would like to get outside.

The views of Mt. Wrightson are spectacular!
