One of Arizona's most popular cycling roads, Gates Pass will not disappoint! The climb and descent are incredibly scenic, offering views of the Tucson area's unique landscape and access to the Desert Museum. Be extra careful of cars and motorcycles during high season as the road can be narrow at times.
