Construction on a paved, multi-use path that will connect the Rancho Sahuarita community to Desert Diamond Casino could start within the next 12 months. 

The designated area, set back from the roadway, would be designated for bicyclists, pedestrians, skaters, wheelchair users, joggers and others. 

Hiking trails

The Outward Collective compiled this database of the top hiking spots near Green Valley.
