San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area and San Pedro House
From the headwaters near Cananea, Mexico the San Pedro River flows north to the Gila River in Arizona. This river creates a very rare riparian environment in the desert Southwest. Cottonwoods and other lush foliage thrive along the banks of this river, attracting many species of birds and wildlife.
One of the most popular ways to begin a visit to the San Pedro National Conservation Area is a stop at the San Pedro Hous, where visitor information as well as short, well-maintained trails can be found.

Our Lady of the Sierras Shrine
High on a hill in the Huachuca Mountains, a 75 foot Celtic Cross beckons visitors to come closer, and a large angel with open arms welcomes visitors to the Shrine. Our Lady of the Sierras Shrine, completed in 1998, extends a serene invitation for travelers of all faiths.
