Written Directions

Gates Pass is just West of Tucson, maybe 5 or 10 miles West of I-10. If you're heading from Tucson, take Speedway all the way West until it turns into Gates Pass Rd. For a longer route, you can take Ina Road all the way West, and then take Kinney Road down South, until you drive by Old Tucson and then connect into Gates Pass Road.

Scenery

Some nice looking mountains, but not too many mountains, nothing breathtaking.

Road Quality

Lots of SHARP twists and turns! Be careful, my friend crashed along one of the curves. The road is fairly short though, so maybe try going up through Kinney road after Gates Pass. It is also kind of bumpy, but an alright road.

Roadside Amenities

Not much to be found here. Old Tucson is nearby, which is a great tourist attraction. There's a camping sight nearby I believe. I didn't go for the attractions though, I went for the curves!
