The trails in the Tortolita Mountains range from 2,800 to 4,300 ft. elevation. Many of the trails
can be accessed by following Dove Mt. Road to the roundabout; there will
be a trailhead parking lot with restrooms just after driving through
the entrance gate to Ritz Carlton Hotel. I wish there was not a Ritz Carlton Hotel here. The smallest of Tucson's mountain ranges, the Tortolitas feature rugged
peaks, gullies, canyons and alluvial fans, with rocky soil and vast
stands of cacti.
