"Great place to learn about the Spanish and Native American history in the area. Visitor center has good exhibits and the drive up to the top is easy. Nice hiking trails."
"Beautiful and Serene location. The headquarters has an excellent display if information about this area that is on the US/Mexico border. The drive up the canyon is worth it despite the rough ride."
"Absolutely beautiful area. The road of the mountain was bumpy but manageable in a sedan. Such gorgeous valleys and mountains. God is truly an artist."
"I have a love for southern Arizona and its history. This park has beautiful hills. Scenery and wildlife. The hikes are diverse, and if you walk 3 miles or more, you can get a "I hike for health" button."
