Saguaro National Park
Great for hiking and biking.
Relatively close. There is a tram ride to get closer to the trail head. You can hike a couple of hours to Seven Falls and actually get in the water along the way. Beautiful.

A Tucson must-see location--and it is so easily accessible from our house. Less than an hour through five eco-zones to the top where you can find snow (winter and early spring) and incredible views for a hundred miles! Most cyclists love our location for the close proximity of this challenging ride. Wonderful summer hiking and ski lift rides!
