About Mendoza Canyon:
| Large granite domes on BLM land, mostly wilderness multi-pitch. There are no sport routes here. Tricky route finding is the norm. From Tucson drive from I-10 to I-19 and turn west on Arizona highway 86W. Turn left on 286 for a few miles until you reach King Anvil Ranch Rd. Drive slowly through the ranch and stop to sign the register and get a free permit. A State Land permit is officially required to pass thru the area. Drive down the good dirt road with the sign: Designated Access Route. You will come to a small corral/parking area. Hop the gate (says no trespassing) and walk two miles on dirt road to the dam. Pick your dome from there. |
