Wagon Trail Now Highway in Pima County
Pima County completed paving the Old Spanish Trail from Broadway Wilmot to Saguaro National Monument turning a historic wagon path into a modern road. The route winds along a high ridge toward the monument and may be extended to Benson highway to link east Tucson with Highway 80. Samuel A. King notes 50 000 visitors to the cactus forest this year and expects a 25 to 40 percent rise. J Homer Boyd emphasizes the county’s focus on public road needs over private interests.
