Just been told by a Ranger that we can’t come back until 6 months later!?!?! That wasn’t said on their website anywhere. Also I don’t believe a word what they say bec we asked some works if there was a fire restriction in place they said no we can have fire going, we decided not too until we were fully sure we can so we flagged a fire truck coming down the pass and asked him. He said there is a fire restriction in place, so yeah don’t believe what they tell you, they will lie to your face!!!!!
Nice drive up with excellent views of Tucson and the pass. It's interesting how the desert can change the higher up you go. The road is partially paved leading to a dirt road which is in fair I y good shape. We drove a Hyundai SUV without any problems. I wouldn't try it without a decent 4x4 during the rainy season.
The view is amazing!!!!! I wouldn't want to pull anything bigger than our pop out camper up. We made it pretty far up the pass. The wind was blowing when we got there but not too terribly and eventually died down. However, once the storm front started moving in the wind picked up pretty high where we were parked at on the top. Looooots of OHV traffic during the day. Silent at night.
Spots for camping just off the steep hill and what a spectacular view snow capped and sun shining
