The route we navigate is approximately 34 miles long and lasts about 3.25 hours. The tour involves a climb and descent of over 1500 vertical feet as we traverse the forefront of the Pinal Mountains. During the journey, your guide will highlight Indian rock art remnants of the ancient Native Americans. A noteworthy landmark is an old adobe structure that was a stopover for the Butterfield Overland Stage Coach Company during the 1860’s Express, referred to as the “Butterfield.
