Wild Burro Trailhead

I came here on a Saturday morning around 10AM, and the parking lot still has plenty of space although there were people out and about. The trail itself wasn't the most interesting as the views were all the same, so the hike seemed pretty long. According to the maps at the trailhead, this hike is 8.5 miles, not 8. The Burro trail coming back is mostly flat. Took about 3.5 hours to do the hike, and saw quite a few people on the trail too.

We have hiked this trail several times and especially like taking the western Lower Javelina trail out and then returning on the Wild Burro trail. Very scenic and just enough challenge.

This is one of our favorites. Within 5 minutes from home and a beautiful setting with great views. The trail divides into other trails and you can find wildlife, petroglyphs, etc along the paths. You won't be alone, as there are always people on the trails, but it's not crowded. The parking lot is just outside of the Ritz Carlton and there are bathrooms just before the trail.

I don't really recommend Wild Burrow Trail as a hike unless you are looking for something non-strenuous and happen to be in the area. Wild Burrow Trail is located by Dove Mountain which is part of the Tortolita Moutains. It's located about 30 minutes outside of Tucson. The path is graded dirt for the first half, and then gets slightly more rugged as climb the nearby mountain. There are a number of trails that kind of join onto this one so you can mix and match as you do. I went in September, but I'm told that in April and May the cactus wildflowers would be in bloom - which may be better time to go. What is nice is that it's located by the Ritz Carlton so when you're done hiking, you can drop in for a drink and relax a bit before driving home. Level: Easy

This is a great trail system. It is not crowded and has beautiful views. It's very quiet and well marked. You can get onto the trail right outside of the Ritz. It is well maintained. It hooks to a lot of other trails as well. Great for all levels.

Great set of trails for all ability levels. Trailhead has ample parking and bathrooms with running water. Maps are also located at the trailhead. No fees for parking also make this a great hiking spot!
