The unusual rock formations at this popular hiking site were caused by a massive volcanic eruption 27 million years ago.

Some of the best trails in all of Arizona. You will not be disappointed. The views are incredible, the trails well maintained, facilities are very clean. Be sure to bring a camera, lots of water, light snack or small lunch, and hike all day. I would highly recommend "The Big Loop" counter clockwise (BEST VIEWS). "The Big Loop" and traverses multiple connecting trails in the Chiricahua NM. Begin at the Echo Canyon trailhead, then veer left on Ed Riggs trail, connect to Mushroom Rock Trail, then Big Balanced Rock Trail, make sure to do the Heart of Rocks Loop, after that, then Sarah Deming Trail, connect to Upper Rhyolite Canyon Trail, and then finish up with Echo Canyon Trail. You'll end up right where you started, but richer in experiencing the beauty of nature!

We were so impressed with this small museum in Willcox. We were greeted by a curator(Cathy) who gave us a summary of local history and explained the layout of the museum. She also checked on us halfway through to see if we had any questions and offer more information on how Cochise’s relatives have contributed to the museum. There is so much great information about the Apaches, especially Cochise and Geronimo up through the time the tribe was moved to Florida and then Oklahoma. There’s also information on ranching in the area. I would highly recommend setting aside an hour or two to see this museum. Cost is only $3 per couple.

The orchard, pumpkin patch, and corn maze were a great outdoor activity on a perfect fall afternoon. This was our first trip to the pumpkin patch and corn maze; the hay ride to the pumpkin patch was fun and walking through the field to select the perfect pumpkin was a unique experience. The corn maze features two different mazes for the adventurous spirit. Their passport system made it fun and educational. You won’t find a better family activity than a visit to Apple Annie’s!

We got in a bit late... about an hour before sunset. Followed path toward lake (which we never seemed to get closer to!). Sun was setting. Decided to head back to RV. And suddenly wave after wave of Sand Hill cranes flew over us. My husband referenced the Flying Monkeys from the Wizard of Oz. Really amazing! They summer near us on the Red Cedar River in WI. It was a great treat to see them come together in their winter home. Be warned... they return as the sun is setting. It's a small window... but an awesome experience!

I live in Tucson and heard on radio about Apple Annie's Country Store. It said their Apple Pie had won award for best apple pie in world, so I knew I had to go there to see if it really was. Well it IS !! It's the best apple pie I've ever tasted, and they have other products that are also fabulous, especially their Apple Bread that is just the best ! It's a great store, friendly staff and they have such a lot of other things to look at and buy and even sit down and have a slice of pie there in their cafe area. Recommend you go there.
