Wonderful little hike, great for kids. Fun bingo activity and play area for little ones, scenic views for all ages. Relatively flat, easy path.

Beautiful gem for hiking that is only 40 or so minutes away from Bisbee. I really enjoyed the Nature Conservancy spots during the self guided hike. We came in late December and the weather was nice and cool, and it was so nice to see the fall leaves on the ground.

A beautiful place to follow trails under trees. Birds! Turkeys!
