Description
Gates Pass is a scenic route in the area of Tucson, Arizona. The road is a continuation of West Speedway Boulevard in the city, which assumes the name Gates Pass after passing North Camino De Oeste. From there, it continues until it reaches Kinney Road. The road is lined with scenic overlooks, and is an area where locals and tourists come to watch the sunset. The road through Gates Pass was started in 1883 by Thomas Gates, in a search for a shortcut through the Tucson Mountains; Gates was a local pioneer, and a saloon and ranch keeper. He purchased the land in order to build this road.
