Trails Head at Barrio de Tubac
Wrapped in a bed of history that is as old as the West itself, Trails Head is the place from which Juan Bautista de Anza and his party entered the Anza Trail on their way to discover and found San Francisco, California. This was in 1774.
Today we honor this man with Trails Head by rendering homage not only through the location of the community but also by our attention to the archaeological detail of the earliest settlements in Tubac.
Renowned architect, Kevin Howard, has painstakingly captured the flavor of the 1700's in the Village of Tubac through the careful design of his homes at Trails Head.
Using historical maps, drawings and outlines of the original barrio houses, Mr. Howard has brought depth and life to a design element only reflected in the Tucson and Tubac Valley basins of the Santa Cruz Valley.
