History

Las Cienegas National Conservation Area, located 45 miles southeast of Tucson, offers overlanders and vehicle-based travelers access to 45,000 acres of rolling grasslands, oak-studded hills, and riparian corridors (the land and ecosystem located along the banks of a river, stream, or other body of water). Managed by the BLM, the area features historic ranchlands, rare Southwest ecosystems, and scenic backroads for exploration. An Arizona State Land Pass ($20, and can be purchased online) is required to explore this picturesque but stark area.
