 County, Marana collaborate to turn area into "must-visit" recreation destination
An area rich with history and biodiversity soon could become a hotspot for outdoor enthusiasts following a recent partnership among Pima County, the Regional Flood Control District and the Town of Marana on infrastructure upgrades at two amenities along the northern edge of the Tucson Mountains. Pedestrian-only trail improvements and new signage at the County-owned Los Morteros Conservation Area and on-going work on the Town of Marana's El Rio Preserve will make both more accessible and more beneficial for County residents and visitors alike.
