Drexel Heights Description

With a population of nearly 23,850, the city if Drexel Heights is located in Pima County and is about 19 square miles. It's also known for the Saguaro cactus, which grows in the area along highways. There are a few coyotes in the area, but it's definitely worthwhile to have the Tucson Mountains as your home's backdrop. Its possible to cross these mountains over a handful of roads, including Ajo Highway, Gates Pass, and a few treks you wouldn't even want to take your off-roading vehicle onto. The bottom line: the views are fantastic but getting across the mountains can be a challenge if you want a special route.
