Owl Buttes: Eye of the Needle Route

1/24/2026, 38.1 mi, 3:45 hr:min, 1886 ft. vertical

We changed venue from Bisbee to Tucson, and after hiding out from the rain at the 3 Palms Hotel in Tucson, we drove north to the trailhead in Mariana, under cloudy skies. The granite soil shed the recent rain, and we rode on hero gravel all day. The views were wide, and the Saguaro Cactus extended to the horizon. Green grass and flowering plants were intertwined between the Cactus.
