Table of contents

The Honeybee Canyon South Trail is a relaxed loop trail in Tucson that’s known for its pleasant desert views and easygoing elevation gain. It’s also known for being easy to lose, so definitely come armed with a downloaded GPS track! This route does not reach the petroglyphs that the Honeybee Canyon North Trail just across the road does, but it does provide its own appeal. This route is suitable for all skill levels and dogs are permitted as long as they’re kept on leash.

Route Description for Honeybee Canyon South Trail

The Honeybee Canyon South Trail is a fun hike for all ages and skill levels. The desert scenery on this route is excellent and it’s a generally easy trail. It’s ideal for a family outing or a relaxed nature walk. Note that this route doesn’t reach the petroglyphs, but if you want to see them, you can take the Honeybee Canyon North Trail on the other side of the road.

There’s no shade on this route, so as with all hikes in the Tucson area, we recommend bringing plenty of water and wearing sun protection. Dogs are permitted on this trail but must be kept on leash. This trail can be very easy to lose, so bring a downloaded GPS track to help you find your way.

From the trailhead, go left past the restrooms and picnic area. You’ll mostly be hiking through dry washes. Turn right off the Sausalito Wash Trail and then right again to loop back to the trailhead by hiking back in the direction of the road.
