About Turkey Creek Trail
This trail provides an access route into the eastern portion of the Saguaro National Park. It is part of the Arizona Trail. The portion of the Turkey Creek Trail which is in the Coronado National Forest follows a ridge that separates Turkey Creek and Mesquite canyons. Part of this section is within the boundaries of the Rincon Mountain Wilderness. The landscape through which it passes is similar to that of the Park, dotted with large saguaros and other vegetation characteristic of the Sonoran Desert. Views stretch to Rincon Peak on the south and the Santa Catalinas to the north.

Drive east 39 miles from Tucson on I-10 to the J-Six-Mescal road exit (#297). Turn north on the Mescal Road and continue 16.4 miles to FR-4408. Turn left and travel .4 mile through a gate to a parking area with large sycamore trees. The trail starts on the opposite side of the creek and follows a 4-wheel drive road 1.5 miles to the single track. From Turkey Creek Trail webpage
