Chris, Wild Burro Canyon was accessible from Rail X ranch road off of
Oracle Rd (77) there is a few caches in the area (High Top Meadow, Have you
lost your Marble, Maria's Plaything, Batamote Booty, Cachers Choice B and some
others. A problem with the trail now exists as someone has put a cable
across the road with a lock. They have bladed the road to gain better
access. You can hike to High Top Meadow from the locked cable but can't
drive there anymore (by driving I mean a serious 4x4, lockers, 33" tires, lift)
I drove the trail before the cable was put up and down to the second windmill,
wanted to go further but some people in our group were not equipped so we turned
back. I then thought of gaining access from Moore Road by Dove Mountain -
there are two caches just before Wild Burro Canyon on the east end (Alamosa
Spring Trail I & II) when I explored that end it was not passable with
my vehicle (Jeep Cherokee, 33" tires, lockers front & rear, 4.5" lift,
winch, a very capable vehicle) I do have tracks from Rail X Ranch
road to the 2nd windmill and tracks leading to the other end of the canyon if
you could use them. There possibly is a way off Rail X Ranch road taking
Cochie Canyon Road but I have not looked into it yet.
Hope this helps, let me know if you need further info.

Request
Does anyone by any chance have any GPS data for the Tortolita
Mountains (north end of Tucson)? I'm specifically looking for the trail info
for Wild Burro Canyon.
If anyone has anything like that I'd really
appreciate it. I use a Magellan eXplorist 400 with MapSend Topo 3D USA
software.
An ever hopeful thanks in
advance!
