Cycling
Vistoso Trails Nature Preserve in Oro Valley, Arizona, is a 202-acre community-driven conservation project that transformed a former golf course into a vibrant desert habitat. The preserve features over 6 miles of wide, paved, car-free trails that meander through the Sonoran Desert, offering views of the Catalina and Tortolita Mountains and access to ancient petroglyphs. These trails connect 17 neighborhoods via underpasses beneath major roads, making it a safe and accessible space for walking, biking, and wildlife observation.

Hiking
This northern path continues to follow the old golf course, with benches and some spots to rest along the way. As of 2026, there is construction on the east end of this section, so the loop trail is closed and you can only walk it as an out-and-back from the entrance to the west.
