Manning Camp, in Saguaro National Park, is named after Levi Manning, who built the cabin there in 1905 as a summer home for his family. Manning later served as the mayor of Tucson from 1905-1907. In 1907, the area became part of the Coronado National Forest. The cabin was subsequently used for fire watch and trail crews and later for biological researchers and backcountry rangers. Manning Camp can be accessed by several routes; this FKT reaches it via the Arizona Trail traveling north-bound on Passage 9 (Rincon Mountains).
