The Vistoso Trails Nature Preserve presents the beauty of the Sonoran Desert, teeming with wildlife. The existing 6.2-mile, eight-foot-wide concrete path winds through the property providing visitors with views of the Catalina and Tortolita mountains, examples of varied desert vegetation, and the opportunity to view an abundance of wildlife. Located in north Oro Valley, Vistoso Trails Nature Preserve provides residents and visitors a new location to connect with the natural world. The Preserve is open from dawn to dusk and temporary parking is located at 945 W. Vistoso Highlands Dr.
