Bajada Loop Drive

The Bajada Loop drive is a graded dirt road that is suitable for low clearance vehicles. (Persons with motorhomes or trailers should ask at the Red Hill Visitor Center for road conditions before traveling on this graded dirt road.) There are several options with the Bajada Loop Drive. You can start the six mile Bajada Loop Drive 1.5 miles northwest of the Red Hills Visitor Center in Saguaro National Park West. The Hohokam Road is two ways until you get to the Sus Picnic Area then it is one way until you get to the Golden Gate Road. See map to the left. Once you get to the Golden Gate Road you can turn left and finish the loop after visiting the Signal Hill Picnic Area's Petroglyphs or you can turn right and follow the Golden Gate Road about 5 miles to the paved Picture Roads Road. The Golden Gate Road gets a little rougher after the Ez-Kim-In-Zin picnic area.
