Getting Around

Roadways connect each site in this mostly urban park. The Mission Reach project, presently under construction, is a driving route from downtown to Espada, the southernmost mission site in the park. Complete signage is not in place, so ask at each site for directions to the next mission.

The Mission Reach Hike and Bike Trail is under construction also, with expected completion in the summer of 2013. Click here to go to our Hike and Bike Trail page.
