Bajada Loop Drive is a 5.2 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Cortaro, Arizona that features beautiful wild flowers and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, road biking, and scenic driving and is accessible year-round.
Saguaro National Park charges a fee to enter. Fees are $25 per vehicle or $20 per motorcycle. If you are entering on foot or bike the fee is $15 per person. You can also purchase a park specific annual pass for $45. Worthwhile loop with nice curves and a variety of cacti. The Signal Hill picnic area has some cool petroglyphs you can easily access.
April 7, 2021Bumpy dirt path but doable in a sedan.
April 6, 2021Loved it. This side of the park was our favorite, saw more flowers / blooms and the cactus forest seemed to be more dense.
March 23, 2021March 11, 2021nice drive, road was a bit bumpy but passable. nice scenery and a few short hikes to enjoy
January 4, 2021The graded dirt road would be passable by an average sedan. It had good views and was relaxing after a long day of hiking. We stopped at a nice picnic spot for lunch in the middle.
December 23, 2020Located at the west side of Saguaro National Park. We drove through it, at certain areas it was dirt road. We hiked valley view overlook trail, an easy 0.8 mile round trip. Also stopped by at signal hill to see some petroglyphs from Hohokam period.

August 1, 2020smooth clear path with nice curves and humps
August 26, 2019Nice short drive. Definitely more beautiful than the Loop Drive in Saguaro East
February 17, 2019Worthwhile loop if you're in the area and want a chance to rest the legs. In terms of nature/cacti there's nothing you won't see out on the trails, but the Signal Hill picnic area has some cool petroglyphs you can easily access.
March 3, 2018Great drive especially for those not wanting to get to far from the city. Found a few hiking spots on this road too. There aren't necessarily marked but some are legitimate trails. I found them using this app.

First to ReviewA scenic drive through the Desert in the Saguaro National Park. It's graded, but it's winding and narrow.
