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.
