A challenging trail ending in a gorgeous 75ft waterfall. All right in the middle of the desert. The trail starts out tough with some difficult obstacles.(most bypass-able) Some obstacles are named and can get quite interesting. "The Crack" will most likely result in some body damage.

Directions:

Take Tanque Verde road east, past the turnoff to Mt. Lemmon (Catalina Highway) for 8 miles, until it turns to dirt and starts climbing up through Redington Pass. The road is now called Redington Rd. You will pass a parking lot for Lower Tanque Verde falls (at 1.4 miles) on your left and then another parking area (on the side of the road) for Upper Tanque Verde falls up a little further. Tanque Verde falls is awesome and you should take a day to explore them. Redington Rd has green mile markers, pay attention to them, but don’t count on them being correct. Approximately 8 miles from where the Tanque Verde road turns to dirt is the trailhead (waypoint 001 and Forest Road 4417). There is a parking lot on the right. This is a good place to put it into 4wd, air down, drink some soda, etc.
