Presidio Santa Cruz Terrenate

This fortress is the most intact survivor of what was once a network of similar defensive sites built by the Spanish. There is also the ghost town of Fairbank, about 3 miles from the Presidio trailhead along AZ 82.

The BLM wants to hear from you about these draft business plans. Visit the Recreation Business Plan webpage or our announcement for more information about how to share your input by October 21.
