The Tucson Mountains Scenic Highway (also known as Kinney Rd./Bajada Loop Dr./Golden Gate Rd./Picture Rocks Rd.) presents the history and the beauty of Saguaro National Park, which was named after the cacti that can reach up to 50 feet high. This scenic highway and Tucson Mountain Park feature desert flora and artifacts, such as ancient petroglyphs.

The saguaro cactus, with its shadow reaching across the scrub-brush-covered desert, is an icon of the West and a hallmark of the Tucson Mountains Scenic Highway (also known as Kinney Rd./Bajada Loop Dr./Golden Gate Rd./Picture Rocks Rd.). Explore the sights, including Saguaro National Park, Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum and Tucson Mountain Park.
