I recently discovered that this is not an approved trail in Tucson Mountain Park. The description has been removed and trail maps will be revised accordingly.

Under no circumstances should riders or hikers use this trail. The desert is a fragile environment and only through keeping the number of trails limited will we and future riders continue to have a park to ride in.

Ride responsibly and don't cut new trails! When you see new trails, place a stick or line of stones across the path to remind other riders to stay on established trails. It takes many years for the desert to recover from trail use.

Sorry you missed this trail? Don't be. The John Krein Trail more than makes up for it.
