The project site area is located in the southern part of Arizona, in Saguaro National Park located in the Tucson Mountain District seen in Figure 1. The current and intended site, the Cam-boh Picnic Area (32°19'9.98"N, 111° 9'57.97"W), is located on the west side of Saguaro National Park just south of Picture Rock Road, 12.5 miles north-west of Tucson, Arizona seen in Figure 2. The available land encompasses approximately 4.5 square acres. The site is between a small development of residential homes and a natural wash that is approximately 160 feet to the west of the park’s entrance displayed in Figure 3. The site’s associated trail is the Cam-boh Trail – which runs parallel to Picture Rock Road from Cam-boh Picnic Area and is a major connection between the east and west parts of the Tucson Mountain District providing several loop opportunities for mountain bikers, hikers, and equestrian riders [1].
