FROM GREEN VALLEY [NOGALES CITY BYPASS]
There's
an alternative to driving through Nogales, driving along the
Santa Cruz River road. It actually saves a few miles and potentially
quite a bit of time. Leave I-19 at exit 12 (Ruby Road) and go
east about 2 miles to a street named Via Frontera (there's a
two-story home at this intersection, only the second intersecvtion
that you come to). Turn right and then left after one block
onto south River Road. Continue on the River Road, all the way
past a residential area. Then you'll cross the Santa Cruz River
and join Hwy 82 near Kino Springs, 6 miles east of Nogales.
Turn left (east) at Hwy 82 and go about 12 miles to Patagonia. |
