- On March 17, 2018 Pima County is celebrating the completion of the "The Loop" - a system of more than 100 miles of paved pathways that runs in Tucson, Marana, Oro Valley, South Tucson and unincorporated Pima County. It began after the historic floods of 1983 as a way of building banks to try to prevent future catastrophic floods so the recreational component was added which serves pedestrians, bicyclists and equestrians.

I live in Tennessee. My brother lives in Tucson,Az. Every January and February we go there and stay with him. He lives right across the street from the "LOOP" . It's one of the greatest things I have ever seen for walkers and bikes. We don't come close to this in Tennessee. And the weather is great in January and February.
I just discovered cycling and am moving back to Tucson at the end of the month. I can’t wait!
I have been a Snow Bird since I was 27 in 1983. Been coming to Tucson since the first years of the Loop after the big 100 year flood that year. I will be back again in 7 days. I live and work in many other places around the USA in summer. I was working in Zion NP this past June and July. I have only worked summers since 1982. I tour in the fall and spring after I work somewhere else and after I stay in and around Tucson the winters. Look for me this year on a lime green Fat Raliegh Mountain Bike.
I definitely have to ride the whole 130 miles, kudos for the city!!
I worked and lived in Northern Virginia and Washington DC and thought the bike trails in Northern VA (W&OD, Mt. Vernon) were great. When I retired the two biggest reasons I decided to retire to Tucson was the weather and the bicycle trails. I have been here for a couple of weeks now and The Loop exceeded my expectations. Absolutely beautiful. Maybe someday I will get used to the stunning mountain vistas but right now it is breathtaking.
Great segment on The Loop... congrats to Tucson for completing 131 miles! It's one of the many reasons I choose to vacation in Tucson in the Winter from the East Coast. Thanks to AZ Public Media for posting.
Congratulations, Tuscon and its cycling residents. I hope to ride my bicycle on The Loop. Public streets are too dangerous now for cyclists and pedestrians.
thanks so much. I may just retire in Tucson, JUST because of this video!!! Enjoyed it. Thanks.
Yes, it's never to late to fall in love with riding again. I got back into it at 41. I will be 51 in a few days. My parents are retired in Tucson. I have come out from VA in Nov for the past few years to ride in the Tour of Tucson. Love it, one of my favorite rides. Two advantages I see the loop gives you is no cars, and it won't beat your bike to death, like a lot of the roads in Tucson tend to do!👍🚴
On the “List”! Roger is a wonderful ambassador!
The Loop is a wonderful thing pedestrians and cyclists of all ages to enjoy. My family loves visiting and taking advantage of renting bikes over at The Rillito River section and biking all day. Amazing!
I just did the main loop around Tucson (55mi) and it was awesome! I’m a college student at the UA and used my Christmas break to finally get some fresh air and it was quite the amazing adventure .
Give me Boston so I can walk my 25,000 steps everyday and since October 7,2014 I have walked 33,841,155 steps for the past seven years. I plan to walk for my eighth year in total 40,000,000 steps!!!!!!!
Came down from Phoenix just for the loop. Been a goal for a while. Cool to make it happen.
Riding it today! Wish we had this in Texas
I have visited Tucson from time to time. I think the next time I am out there, I will try the loop
I have an uncle who lives very close to Tangerine and First in a subdivision called Catalina Shadows Estates. I am planning on visiting his in June and going to check out the trail
That’s so cool, I hope to climb mount lemmon one day. Here in San Antonio we have something similar but they are called the greenway trails, currently around 80 miles but they continue to expand the system. They follow the forests and parks that surround the local creeks and rivers
Amazing trail. I rode most of it last year two days after El Tour de Tucson. It’s worth staying a couple extra nights for. Maybe next year I’ll stay a little longer and ride Mt Lemon as well! Well done Tucson!
Wish they had something like this in NY.
