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!
