About our Area

Santa Cruz County of Southern Arizona is where you will be visiting. This is mostly a rural area except for the few towns along I-19, Amado, Green Valley, Tubac, Tumacacori and Rico Rico. Santa Cruz County was created by Arizona's 20th Territorial Assembly in 1899 and is named after the Santa Cruz River - which mean "holy cross" in Spanish.

While on trail we will be traveling through a wide variety of cactus, desert shrubs, mesquite trees, oak, woodlands and beautiful canyons. These canyons are filled with historical significance and western legends. This land of the old west is where Apache Indians attacked settlers and Geronimo and his band of renegades made their last raids until his final surrender to the U.S. Calvary in 1886.

You will be camping and riding through areas of different degrees of rugged, Western country — so be ready to cowboy up!
