    Directions to Trailhead

    The Honeybee Canyon North Trail is a great little hike that we recommend for a few reasons. This route is less than 3.2 km long and mostly flat, making it suitable for families and hikers of all skill levels. The route is partially paved but the footing remains stable throughout. It’s a perfect sunset hike and the saguaros and mountains in view make for a memorable scene. Most of all, we love that you can check out well-preserved petroglyphs on a rock face near the end of this trail.

    Route Description for Honeybee Canyon North Trail

    The Honeybee Canyon North Trail is a fun hike for all ages and skill levels, especially at sunset. The desert scenery on this route is excellent and you’ll find a wall of well-kept petroglyphs along your trail. It’s a very interesting and rewarding hike that’s also very accessible. It’s ideal for a family outing or a relaxed evening walk.

    There’s no shade on this route, so as with all hikes in the Tucson area, we recommend bringing plenty of water and wearing sun protection. Dogs are permitted on this trail but must be kept on leash.

    From the trailhead, head under the road on the bridge on Petroglyphs Trail. You’ll follow Sausalito Creek (likely dry) the entire way, making navigation a breeze. The scenery opens up as you walk, with mountains and desert flora defining your view. Weave your way along through the wash until it dead-ends at a 7’ cement wall.
