Latta

Just a quicker way over a small mountain range into Tucson. It is not worth going out of your way as other than a pull-off for a picture it provides nothing as an attraction. It can be accessed from the road to the Sonoran Desert Museum.

Great drive with beautiful view points. Just be careful of the many cyclists that bike the pass. Try not to be in a hurry and just enjoy the views.
Purmamarca

Even if you are going to Saguaro National Park or Arizona-Sonora Living Desert to see desert landscapes, don't miss stopping along here to look down the mountain into the valley in both directions. The flowers are spectacular on the sides of the road.

A winding but easy road from Tucson gets you here and it is more than worth it. Brilliant scenery, cacti and and mountains. Some hiking trails are around this area too

I have seen the most magnificent sunsets from here. Make sure you get here at least 40 minutes before sunset to get a parking spot.

For those who like to make photographs of sunsets this location is a must. Opportunities and angles are endless so plan to arrive 30-60 minutes before sunset to evaluate locations. Then, plan to spend some time after the sun sets as many times the sky explodes with color after the sun is below the horizon. Try to find a location that will include a giant saguaro cactus in the foreground at the right or left side of your composition.

A must do in Tucson- some of the best views and photo ops! Convenient is you're already planning on visiting Saguaro National Park or the Desert Museu .

but not dog friendly. we were surprised to find that the park and other state parks in tucson did not allow dogs. The ranger explained it was due to mountain lions. we were unaware of this and planned our hiking trip with our dog to Tucson. Wish we knew ahead of time.

If you are heading to the western side of Tucson to go to Old Tucson or the Desert Museum or Saguara National Park, go over Gates Pass instead of taking the long way around which is accessed from the south. It is a beautiful drive at the end of Speedway Rd. It is full of beautiful desert plants and amazing views. There are several areas to stop and picnic and just enjoy a cooler view of the area in warm weather.

The view from the pass is breathtaking. The drive to the top of the pass is a bit slow and challenging, especially when trying to avoid bikers who are sharing the narrow two-lane road.Be sure to pull off and take a few photos!
