Great, easy hikes. Amazing night sky. Look for their night events. They have a night gate and you can pay for an after-hours gate code. I've never seen so many stars in my life. Worth the trip out. Hit Biosphere 2 on the way.

We loved the trails at Oracle SP. The nature trail is easy but has a lot of interesting ups and downs. A big plus is the self guided tour of the original owners house that serves as the park info center and museum. One of our favorite days in Oro Valley.
