From Pima Canyon Trailhead head out on Desert Classic, immediately turn up to Marco de Niza rock. Trail continues up either side and meets quickly. Trail continues up and down along ridge to junction with Beverly Canyon Trail - South.


The trail heads up and becomes a tad more difficult to follow after passing San Gabriel Ridge (keep left, don't go right down to National. Once past the route trouble, the trail is easy to follow all the way to the junction with San Gabriel Canyon.

The faint use trail continues on over to Corona de Loma - East Ridge. The Guadalupe Ridge ends here at Eagle Pass. On the other side of Eagle Pass is Corona de Loma. A right quickly takes you down to the National Trail, Buena Vista Trailhead is near.

This trail is not signed anywhere. It is a heavily used use-trail. Especially in the middle section where residents of the San Gabriel neighborhood utilize the ridge for various loops.

    This one is a little tough to locate if you're not from the area. It's near Guadalupe Rd. The issue at hand is there are no on-off ramps for Guadalupe Rd. Instead, get off south a mile on Elliot and follow 48th Street north.

    Pima Canyon Trailhead is located west off of 48th Street, just south of Guadalupe Road. It's all somewhat confusing. Your first time, go to the intersection of Guadalupe & 48th, then head south. Take the first right and an immediate left into South Mountain/Phx Preserves Park. Follow the access road passing the golf course all the way to the trailhead.

    Pima Canyon Trailhead and Marcos de Niza Trailhead are the same now. Long ago, the road continued to Pima Canyon Trailhead.
