    Directions to Trailhead

    Beginning from the scenic San Pedro Vista and climbing a ridge past Barnum Rock to Leopold Point, Incinerator Ridge Trail is a stunning hike and one of our go-to's for quickly accessible views outside of Tucson. This route makes you feel like you’re getting away from the city, but it’s short enough that you can complete it in the morning and then go about your day. The balance of effort and reward is right where it should be.

    Route Description for Leopold Point via Incinerator Ridge Trail

    If you want to step outside the city limits for your next adventure but can’t squeeze in a full-day hike, the trek to Leopold Point on Incinerator Ridge Trail is an awesome pick. This route is quite short, but it still offers a good workout and the views are great. While this route is quick, it does have a more moderate elevation profile for its length, so small children might find it too difficult.

    From the San Pedro Vista, take Incinerator Ridge Trail as it follows the highway before pulling away towards Barnum rock. This beginning part of the route is steeper than the end, so if you’ve made it to Barnum Rock, you’re past the hardest point. Hike up the west side of the rock and continue north.

    Once you approach Leopold Point, take a moment to take in the views. You can complete a quick loop around the point, but if you find it to be overgrown, it might be easier to retrace your steps without the loop. You’ll take the same route back to the trailhead.
