Protecting and preserving Pima County trails since 1987

Outdoor time has arrived in Tucson once again and isn’t it great!


  • The City of Tucson Mayor’s office asked to meet with us to discuss trails in the city. Discussion focused on the urban loop and the progress on the Santa Cruz and Pantano River Parks.


  • We are giving a grant of $600 for trail signage to Pima County Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation for the trail system at the 580 acre Arthur Pack Park on Thornydale Rd. at Hardy Rd.


  • Planning is ongoing for the April 2013 National Trails Symposium in Fountain Hills, AZ. It should be great so as we get closer to the time, we’ll let you know the details.


  • The Pima Trails annual meeting and dinner will be held Nov. 13 at El Parador restaurant. Read about it in this newsletter. You will get an invitation along with the ballot for 2013 soon. Plan to attend and join the fun.

    • Enjoy the good weather on your trails and be sure to report to us any trail problems you encounter. We are your voice for trail access.
