Driving on the Tortolita Pass Trail – Tucson, Arizona, USA
Tortolita Pass Trail is a fun off road trail that winds across the Tortolita Mountains north of Tucson City, , Arizona, USA.
It can be driven in either direction, but locals usually start in Catalina where there are more side roads to explore on public State Trust Land, rather than private land. It’s a popular area for UTVs and ATVs.
Also, there is a convenient staging area at the start. When dry, most of this trail is easy to moderate with the exception of a more difficult 2-mile section that is steep and rocky in places. When wet, this trail can be impassable.
At the high point of the trail, we met up with a stock Nissan Xterra whose owner said he managed the trail just fine.
