Sentinel Peak Park, also known as "A" Mountain, is a regional park located at 1001 Sentinel Peak Road South in Tucson, Arizona. Spanning 372.8 acres, this natural resource park offers stunning views of the Santa Cruz valley and the surrounding area. The park is accessible by vehicle on specific days and times, with vehicle access allowed from Tuesday to Thursday starting at 2 p.m. until sunset, and Friday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to sunset. The history of Sentinel Peak dates back to the Hohokam Indians who farmed the valley as early as 800 AD. When the Spaniards arrived in the 17th century, the Hohokam had disappeared, and settlements of Piman people could be found in the area. One such settlement, known as "Schuk-Shon," was pronounced "Tuk-Son" by the Spaniards, giving rise to the name Tucson. The peak served as a lookout point for early Indian and Spanish settlers who lived in fear of raiders.
