Check for current condition of the Butterfly and Crystal Springs Trails
The Pusch Ridge Wilderness Bypass is an alternate route for trail users to avoid the designated wilderness area within Passage 11 (ideal for hikers, but illegal for mountain bikers and very dangerous for equestrians). The ATA strongly recommends this route for equestrians so they can avoid the difficult northern section of Passage 11 (Santa Catalina Mountains). This bypass is a very technical route, but safer than Passage 11 for equestrians.
