No visit to the Tucson Mountain District of Saguaro National Park would be complete without a stop at Signal Hill. The Signal Hill Trail is a very short path to a boulder-covered summit. Starting from the Signal Hill Picnic Area, the trail gently climbs to a hill covered with dozens of 800-year-old petroglyphs.
