Gates Pass offers many hiking trails and a great place to watch spectacular Arizona sunsets. Just twenty minutes west of Tucson, the drive alone is worth the trip. The winding road through the Tucson Mountains is lined with giant saguaros, prickly pear cacti and magnificent rock formations. Coyote and javelina can sometimes be seen wandering through the mountains along with bobcats and an occasional mule deer. Considered to one of the best locations for watching sunsets by locals and tourists alike, Gates Pass offers a panoramic view of the Sonoran Desert.
Just follow Speedway Blvd. to Gates Pass Road and remember to use caution while driving as the Tucson Mountains are popular with cyclists.
