There are three main routes on Mica Mountain that range from 16 to 26 miles round trip. The longest and most popular 26-mile hike is commonly done as an overnighter. The views are exquisite and well worth the hike. The Rincon Mountains are not recommended for day hiking as they are much more difficult to take on.

Tucson is full of museums, golf courses, colleges, restaurants, coffee shops, parks, and theaters as well as Reid Park Zoo, Kitt Peak National Observatory, Campbell Avenue Bat Colony (a colony of 40,000 Mexican free-tailed bats), Tucson Botanical Gardens, and so much more. The bat colony resides between the concrete rafters of the Campbell avenue bridge on Rillito River. The bats take off anywhere between 30 minutes to two hours before the sun sets. The experience and view of thousands of bats across the Tucson sunset is miraculous.
