Saguaro trail maps

Purchase trail map from AmazonPurchase trail map from AmazonLike with most parks, the National Geographic Trails Illustrated map is your best choice if you’re looking for a single detailed Saguaro National Park trail map with topographic lines, trail mileages, and wilderness campsites. The maps below are great for trip planning, but you’ll want this one to take into the wilderness with you. If you’re mostly just driving though the park, however, this one is probably overkill.

Saguaro lodging map

Saguaro lodging mapSaguaro National Park has both an eastern and western unit separated by the city of Tucson, so it’s only logical to look at Tucson for a place to stay. To the right, you can open a Hotels.com interactive Tucson lodging map, where you can filter by location and price. It may seem overwhelming, so I like to start by looking at the top-rated Tucson lodging to narrow it down based on price, reviews, location, and photos.

Saguaro geologic maps

Saguaro geologic map (west)Here’s a west Saguaro geologic map (2.5 mb), showing the dikes and largely-Cretaceous rock layers of the more heavily-visited Tucson Mountain district located to the west of Tucson.

Saguaro geologic map (east)This is an east Saguaro geologic map (2.4 mb), which shows rock types, folds, and faults in the less-crowded, more-wildernessy Rincon Mountain district, east of the main part of Tucson.
