The Linda Vista Trail Loop in Oro Valley is a great urban hike for those who want to get nose to nose with beautiful Saguaros but don’t want to spend a lot of effort on the trail or getting to the location.

We did this short 2.11 mile loop 2 years ago and decided to revisit it. Not only were we treated to beautiful vistas of the desert and the Santa Catalinas, we also spotted several deer enjoying the trail!
