Initial funding to upgrade Kings Ranch Road and bring it up to County standards was originally scheduled for 2025. The current draft Transportation Plan is delaying it to 2029.

Kings Ranch Road is, in effect, Gold Canyon’s “main” street. All of our houses of worship are located along this street, along with medical, cultural, and service businesses, as well as restaurants.

Slow, steady, and built for the desert 🐢🌵
This World Turtle Day, we’re celebrating the incredible Desert Tortoise—a true survivor of the Sonoran Desert. These gentle reptiles can spend up to 95% of their lives in burrows to beat the heat and conserve water.

Let’s do our part to protect them: stay on trails, never disturb wildlife, and keep their desert home thriving.
