Hike to Tom's Thumb in Scottsdale, Arizona, with your dog. There are paths for people of all ability levels, although the most demanding are intermediate to severe. The first mile of the trek, according to most hikers, is the most tough, and the walkways can be a little slick. You may observe a variety of species while trekking, but keep an eye out for rattlesnakes! Try to arrive early in the morning to avoid the crowds and intense desert heat. There is parking and facilities at the trailhead, but no water, so bring lots of drink for yourself and Petzooie. At all times, dogs must be leashed.

In some places of Saguaro National Park, leashed dogs are permitted. The city of Tucson divides Saguaro into two districts. Dogs are not allowed on trails, off-road, or inside visitors centers, according to the park's website. "Pets are allowed only on roadways, picnic spots (excluding Mam-A-Gah picnic area in the Tucson Mountain District-west), and paved trails (Desert Ecology Trail & Desert Discovery Trail)." Dog owners should keep their pets on a six-foot leash and keep an eye out for cactus spines, prickly bushes, snakes, exposed mine shafts, scorpions, and heat stroke. Visitors can find information on dog hikes in each region of the park, as well as step-by-step directions to both districts, on the Saguaro National Park website.The hours of operation in Saguaro National Park vary based on the season and section, so visitors should check the park's website before planning their visit. The cost of a weekly pass is $25 per vehicle.

Sweetwater Preserve Trailhead is a pet-friendly network of trails in Tucson's foothills that are suitable for hikers of all abilities.

The pathways are extensive, giving dogs plenty of opportunities to explore. The optimum time to visit these trails is between October and March.

Tuzigoot National Monument is a 42-acre park located just outside Clarkdale, Arizona. Before hiking the paths through the Tuzigoot village and Tavasci Marsh, visitors to the monument can visit the museum and visitors center.
