Starr Pass Trail

Starr Pass Trail is a short, compact out-and-back mountain biking route in Tucson Mountain Park, Arizona, on county land. The trail is about 0.9 miles long and rises roughly 75 feet from its starting point, with the high point at about 2,794 feet. It's a quick ride that fits easily into a longer day of riding in the park. The trail winds through classic Sonoran desert terrain, with cacti, desert washes and rocky outcroppings along the way. It's an accessible introduction to desert mountain biking, suitable for beginners or as a warm-up or cool-down for more experienced riders. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show March highs around 75°F and October highs around 86°F, while June and July average near 100°F. Several other trails sit within a short distance. The 36th Street Trail and Max Shemwell Trail are each about half a mile away, and the Rock Wren Trail is about 0.6 miles off. Climbers can find The "Gimme Some" Dome about 3 miles away.
