AZ State Parks & Trails Supports SDMB

Kirk Astroth • May 21, 2022

Arizona State Parks & Trails recently approved a small grant to SDMB to support our Bike Ambassador program. The funds will be used to provide jerseys to Bike Ambassadors which identify them clearly out on the trails, and for First-Aid Kits and Be Cool trail etiquette materials. Congrats to Nathaniel Gordon for submitting a successful grant to support the SDMB Bike Ambassador program. Look for them on the trails.

We know that there have been access issues with the west side of the Hohokam Trail. The railroad right of way is private property and they have posted no trespassing signs and often block the road with boulders or gravel piles. You should not park there. We have been in contact with the railroad and they are unwilling to provide any access and certainly are unwilling to allow parking along the road next to the tracks. Pima County Natural Resources & Parks is aware of the issue and is trying to work out a solution to connect the Hohokam Trail to the Gabe Zimmerman. The long term solution is to extend Hohokam Trail west to connect to the AZT and the Gabe Zimmerman trailhead. For now folks will have to park at McKenzie and ride Hohokam as an out and back from there, or park near 3 Bridges or Gabe Z and use a combination of the AZT, dirt roads and gasline roads to connect. It is legal to park along Agua Verde Road near Marsh Station Road. However there is not much space there. We are working with Pima county to resolve this access issue. Stay tuned.
