The Robles Pass TRAILS PARK Robles Pass

The Robles Pass trails park is approximately 1,000

acres in size and is located between Ajo Way and Irvington Road a short distance north of Winston Reynolds?Manzanita Park. It is the southernmost part of Tucson Mountain Park, and is designated as a natural resource/trails park. Robles Pass is intended to protect a large tract of rapidly vanishing open space while providing a wide range of benefits for the community, including recreational trails for hikers, equestrians, mountain bikers, trail runners, hand cycles, and other users of non-motorized trails.

Robles Pass is known for its large stands of mesquite and palo verde trees and creosote bushes, and the fact that you can have an out-of-the way desert experience in a park that is in suburban Tucson. The creation of the Robles Pass trails park is the result of an attentive Board of Supervisors and dedicated county staff who waited for over 20 years to acquire the property. All trail users visiting the park must practice proper trail etiquette and be courteous to other users to ensure a safe and enjoyable trail experience.

Trails parks are a new category of parks in Pima County. Trails parks are a key step between the parks and pathways that exist in more urban areas and the trail systems in our rural natural resource parks, which take more time to access. The Robles Pass trails park is a "happy medium" that provides natural-surface trails close to where people live and work.

Help maintain the terrific quality of the Robles Pass experience by observing the following rules:

The park is open from dawn to dusk.

Alcohol is prohibited.

Stay on designated trails.

Motorized vehicles, including electric bicycles, are not allowed in the park.

Do not litter. Pack it in, pack it out.

Dogs must be leashed at all times. Please pick up after your dog.

It is illegal to remove or disturb any natural or cultural resources.

Do not feed wildlife.

No geocaching.

No loitering at trailheads or in other areas.

Trailheads are for access only. Park only in the designated parking area.

Please be aware that all Pima County Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation park rules, as well as state and federal regulations, will be enforced.
