Land OwnerCoronado National Forest
This is Tucson's true downhill trail. A favorite of those looking for a multi shuttle day with easy road access and zero climbing. Its a great high elevation escape from the heat loaded with awesome tree lined singletrack. Throw in some slick roots and rock gardens leaving yourself the perfect ingredients for fun. Its nickname is Aspirin Draw.
*WARNING* Highly used multi-use trail with heavy hiker traffic on weekends.
Access Info
