Great pull off spot for a short walk up to the rocks with a great view of the valley and walk through the cacti. Some good information boards in the parking lot. No trail markers, but all paths lead to the overlook.

I hired a tour guide that took me there. You can also get there with your car by yourself. The vast desert and never-ending skies give the rock a stronger presence in the middle of apparent nowhere filled with beautiful flora and fauna. The whole national park is a must of your in the area. If you are not driving, hire a guide.

Javelina Rocks in the Saguaro National Park East is a wonderful place. It is an incredibly beautiful place to watch sunsets! The wide open space allows for amazing views as the sun sets over the Tucson mountains. The rocks are quite climbable, but caution is absolutely needed.

We came upon this scenic spot while hiking. It was a really nice day with practically no clouds so we could see everything around. There’s a lot of cacti around and some rocks you can climb if you’re so inclined.

Excellent spot to explore on Cactus Forest Drive. About 2/3 of the way around there is a large pull off on the right. About 8 spots with room for an RV or two. The rocks are visible for a while and easy to walk up to with lots of pathways from the parking lot. Amazing 360 views across the park and up the mountains. Such pretty colors in the layers. Lots of wildflowers and cactus to see, too.
