1. Chiricahua National Monument
Overall Ratings
5 based on 582 reviews
The unusual rock formations at this popular hiking site were caused by a massive volcanic eruption 27 million years ago.
Reviewed By GoingFarFarAway - Jacksonville Beach, Florida
Amazing and beautiful scenery. There are many well marked trails. We hiked to 7300 feet on sugarloaf trail which was a moderate hike. The views were spectacular. If in the area must visit this place.
2. Fort Bowie National Historic Site
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 161 reviews
Located here are the carefully preserved ruins of Fort Bowie, a focal point of the battle between the U.S. Army and the Apaches.
Reviewed By CO_sugarbear - Trinidad, Colorado
I loved the fact that we were able to hike through ruins to get to the fort. It was a beautiful hike. There were no other hikers with us so we had the place to ourselves.
It’s a nice 3 mile round trip hike. Be sure to take a camera along.
On a personal note, my dad completed this hike 3 weeks after finishing chemo. He is my hero. He rung the bell at the fort in honor of completing his treatment.
If he can do the hike, so can you!

Drove to Wilcox to tour local vineyards but all them closed except the Coronado.
Apparently most only open Thursday to Saturday, this not on the printed brochures.
Coronado had two very knowledgeable and friendly women working who make our trip worthwhile, we tasted and bought wine.
4. Apple Annie's Orchard

Reviewed By VailAZTraveler - Vail, Arizona
We visited Apple Annie's to pick some fruits & vegetables this week. It's very easy to find the orchards and vegetable farm - signage is great. Weekday visit - was not very busy. We picked peaches on this day at the orchard and bought green beans & corn at the other location. Prices are on the expensive side whether you pick or they pick. Their fruits & vegetables are very fresh & tasty. Many different varieties are available at both locations. It was a little too early for the vegetable side - not too much to pick from.
5. Rex Allen Arizona Cowboy Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 62 reviews
Reviewed By NYU62 - Tucson Arizona
My husband is such a fan of anything "Western", and in the 1990's, when we were visiting our daughter, who was attending Grad School in Tucson, she brought him here twice. I had never been here before. Rex Allen's movies were before our time, but his singing is timeless. What beautiful ballads with meaningful words! Before we left, we bought two CD's.
The small Museum is arranged neatly and in order. We loved the old movie posters, all the memorabilia, and the sound of his voice singing quietly in the background. The "caretaker" knew Rex Allen personally, and has the most interesting stories and information to pass on. We had already taken a walk through the tidy park across the street, where we had read all the plaques, and yet, this man provided us with more interesting information, and we went back to the park to check it out. The bronze statue of Rex Allen is the centerpiece of this park. It was created by sculptor Buck McCain, and dedicated in 1991.
Admission is $2.00 per person, and donations are always welcome. Lots of street parking in that area.

If you have been to Fort Bowie, the Indian info here will enhance your experience. Lots of things on Geronimo and Cochise. The museum is tired but has some great info to see and read. $2 for admission and we just wandered around on our own.
7. Zarpara Vineyard
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 16 reviews
Reviewed By Marlys S - Tucson, Arizona
Zarpara is located about 20 minutes outside of Wilcox. It would be easy to stick with the downtown wineries, but that would be a mistake. Zarpara has a broad selection of wines priced mostly in the $20-30 range. Reds are particularly well represented. They occasionally have a barrel-tasting party. It's well worth the cost--fun and educational. Very friendly, family operation.
8. Willcox Playa Wildlife Area

And that's exactly what the man at the visitors center told us when I asked for directions to this place. I even added that we had just arrived in Willcox and were planning a picnic out there. The giggle he tried to suppress should have been a good sign.
Oh well. We found the beach, and the flies, and the cow turds all over the "sand", which is actually dried out, cracked dirt. There is free range cattle out there somewhere. The water level was really low so a lot of stinky smells. The only birds we saw were crows. Ha! We were told this was a wildlife area and we would see all those beautiful species. Unfortunately I think the birds were on vacation that day. It was Memorial Day weekend after all.
Not an ounce of shade either, so bring your umbrella! We had our picnic on a beach towel that we managed to lay between cow piles, ate, drank, and then went on to the wineries.

We (two long-time men friends) spent a week here and loved it. We werre the only guests and saw no one else on the trails we took -- just a few hunting camps on the primitive road leading to the more remote areas. Don't expect...MoreThank you! We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you will visit us again.
10. Friends of Marty Robbins Museum
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Eburkartjr
Visited the Rex Allen museum just next door first but I'm still having a hard time deciding which one I liked the best. Both had to be the most enjoyable time I had learning all things Western. Marty Robbins was a giant of the romantic cowboy ballad and to realize he composed both lyric and melody on most of his songs is amazing. I truly enjoyed my conversation with the curator and her dedication to keeping the memory of Marty Robbins and his music alive. Her genuine love and admiration for this man was contagious and left me with knowing he will always be remembered for a very long time because of her and the friends of Marty Robbins.
Loved the portrait of Wicked Felena.
Happy trails.
