Gate's Pass


Looking for breathtaking desert sunsets? Or an iconic Tucson sunset with Saguaro cactus? Here's a place that won't disappoint.  Gate's Pass is a scenic drive that cuts through the Tucson Mountains.  Started in 1883, Thomas Gates created this road as a shortcut through the mountains to get to his ranch.  Today this area is known as Saguaro National Park and is iconic for our Tucson image.   He was a local pioneer and rancher who purchased the land which would eventually be enjoyed by many people over the years and you won't  be disappointed.  Here are some pics I'm pretty proud of.......if you've never seen an Arizona sunset or sunrise, you need to come and visit. These pics were shot on 3/19/2011 while waiting for the Supermoon.  Enjoy.....


This is my personal favorite.
