Description: Just about every pullout on Gates Pass Rd has a trailhead. Pick up a trail and connect to many others along the way if you wish. You can do any amount of miles that you wish. The trails are great for beginners, quick rides after work and night rides. If you feel you are getting lost, just head back toward the mountain. There are also paved roads to get you back to your car if you get tired of the trails.

HUGE trail system. I rode this area twice, 2-3 hours each time and I was in two completely separate areas. I rode only Brown Mountain and then Starr Pass -> Yetmen -> Bowmen -> Hidden Canyon (See sdmb.org for better trail info) Brown Mountain: Starts out rolling through the desert and gets technical quick as you drop into/out of a wash. Then it's sweet, rocky singletrack with some tight switchbacks and a lot of climbing. On the way up to the top and at the top you have some great views. Then the way down is even more technical. Large drops, huge rocks, and tight, steep switchbacks. Oh, and cactus lining your decent. Starr Pass/etc: Starts out with some techy climbs and descents. Both are very fun. Hidden Canyon has some Hike-A-Bike. The switchbacks are insanely tight/steep but it's a great trail. Overall the park is a "More difficult" trail but it has some areas that are definitely black diamond or greater.

easier trail, but super easy to get lost on, not enough sign markers. not recommended for those who are bad with directions.

Some routes are moderate but most are tough. Many miles of trail from tech Robles Pass and northward to Speedwayand west thru several trails west of Gates and other passes.

TMP is a real treasure. Quiet and relatively undisturbed, despite being so close to Tucson. The trails are not for everyone, and are not easy. They tend to be full of rocks/rubble, but scenery is off the charts.
