Route Description for Signal Hill Trail
Signal Hill Trail is short and sweet, requiring only a third of a mile of hiking to appreciate a viewpoint of Saguaro National Park West and petroglyphs preserved in the park. Since this hike begins and ends in the Signal Hill Picnic Area, we recommend bringing a picnic to enjoy before or after your hike. This is especially nice to do since you’ll pay a small entry fee to use the park.
This route is short enough for all ages and skill levels to enjoy. You’ll still want water on hand and you may want to consider hiking outside of the heat of the day. Even though this is a short trail, this area can get unforgivingly hot.
From the picnic area, take the trail as it passes the picnic tables heading north. Stay right at all junctions. Before you know it, you’ll reach the end of the trail, where you can read about the area’s history and appreciate the view. From here, turn around and head back to the trailhead, staying left at all junctions.
