Highly recommend you take a cavern tour…read more Pre-order tickets online. They sell out! Choose either the Rotunda or the Big Room tour. Same price, different part of the cavern. Note: the Big Room tour is unavailable in summer while the bat pups are learning to fly. It reopens sometime in October omce they migrate south for the winter. Price of parking is included with your tour. A brief pre-tour huddle happens just outside the museum before hopping on the tram for a ride to the entrance. Early morning tours = cool temperatures for this outdoor part of your visit. Come early and view the video in their auditorium which plays on the hour and half hour. Explore their museum area at your leisure. Enjoy the hardens and trails. The gift shop was closed during our visit as they switch vendors. Public restrooms on front and back of buildings were clean, with water fountains and bottle filling stations nearby. Leave *all* your belongings in your vehicle or rent a locker for four quarters each. No coats, bags, cell phones, cameras, back lacks, sunglasses, etc. in the caverns. Picnic tables in the shade in the garden area. Caverns are wheelchair accesible with handicap parking spots by the entrance and a wheelchair lift onto the tram.

As all the reviews say, this is a must see attraction. They…read morestate that it is the most accessible State Park however it is not. Though there are no stairs, the sidewalks inside the cave are not accessible. It is mostly uphill with steep inclines and declines. You would need to be strong to push yourself or be pushed in a wheelchair inside the caves. There were also parts where my wheelchair would not fit through due to narrow paths and hairpin turns. I needed to walk a few steps to get through. I would say the Kartchner Caverns are not accessible, but stair-less.

I've come here for Octoberfest, fun runs, pet events. The city maintains an active schedule for events planned here. There is plenty of free parking. The park has several restrooms that are closed at 11pm to prevent the homeless nearby from trashing them. City employees do a good job keeping this park clean and safe. Within the park is a skate park, ball field, playground, and even an indoor pool. While there is no permanent eatery in this park, there are many varied food trucks present during bug weekend events.

So, my girlfriend and I went to Bisbee with her dog, Nova last week…read more Nova is a pretty fussy dog whom in addition to being afraid of his own shadow, is super picky about where he goes to the bathroom, which served as the inspiration of his nickname, Mr. Fussypaws. Given that he possesses a predilection towards relieving himself at various dog parks around Tucson, we decided that upon arriving to Bisbee, the first thing we would do is find a dog park where he could relieve himself. That said, we found this dog park very interesting. It is a recently converted little league baseball field, with the bleachers and a dugout intact on the premises. Based on a plaque I found in the area, it seems to have been built around 1975, and to have originally been dedicated in the memory of a local businessman who had died around that time. The park has been outfitted with all the trappings of a typical dog park. They have a nice space for your furry pals to roam around, buckets and a water line to ensure that they can stay hydrated, and most importantly, various ways to pick up their poop ranging from shovels and garbage pails, to free poop bags. The only issue we had was the lack of dog toys or shade available in the area, though we were encouraged to see several young trees, which seem to have been recently planted since they were protected by a wire. As for whether it was suitable for our needs, I am happy to report that Mr. Fussypaws did indeed find the time to play with other dogs and to relieve himself at his pleasure; and to our relief.

There is no fee to use this dog park. People are only asked not to bring sick or aggressive dogs…read more Dogs must be onleash until inside the fenced-in area. There are metal benches for humans to sit on. I have two 6-month old German Shepherd Dogs that need socialization. I've now taken them to this park several times. I like that there are two large sections, one for small dogs and the other for large dogs. Mature trees and a hard-top canopy provide for shade. My dogs are all fully vaccinated; I only hope the other dogs visiting are, too. I've been there in the morning and also early evening. This dog park is part of Tompkins Park, where a half-mile paved path finishes my visit with the dogs as they get used to the sights and sounds and smells of other people, kids and dogs of all breeds. The fenced-in area is visible from Buffalo Soldier Boulevard, the main thruway on the town's west side. The water fountains inside the dog park have been turned off during this covid pandemic, and visitors are bringing their own water jugs and leaving left-over water behind. There are also poop bags that I wish more dog owners would use, as my one complaint is that not all dog owners make use of this convenience. Also, recently some dogs have been digging holes that the owners leave exposed for people to trip over. While lights come on at night along the paved fitness path, the dogpark itself remains dark. It's therefore recommended to only visit during daylight hours. The park's parking lot is on the opposite end of this park, but people can also park in the cul-de-sac on the park's north end , off S Savanna Drive.

Beautiful area with trails, an excellent visitor center and other features. At the very least, if you're able, hike up to the top of Coronado Peak from Montezuma Pass. It's a short hike but gains 300 feet in elevation. Good views up there. The Coronado memorial is somewhat out of the way but still easily accessible from I-10. If your vehicle has good tires, after visiting Coronado consider continuing on westward through Montezuma Pass towards Parker Canyon Lake and the town of Sonoita. It's a nice drive. 4WD not required but make sure your spare tire is in good shape.

It's a hidden/"exclusive" gem so pretty quiet most of the time. The view is breath taking. It give you a full 270 degrees view (a huge portion is blocked by all the mountains so that doesn't count) of up to 25-30miles out! They have a few picnic tables if you want to spend some time up here to have a nice little lunch. There are hiking trails leading all the way up the mountains. Don't go by yourself if you still love life and don't want to encounter/get stabbed by illegal drug traffickers, get mutilated by....bears, stung by scorpions, bitten by snakes, pretty much everything on Fort Huachuca can kill u, so take a buddy, a big knife (can't carry fire arms here) if you want to hike up the mountains from here.

I've been here twice and each time I have visited, it is mesmerizing and I don't want to leave!…read more This place is famous for their hoodoos and amazing rock formations that will leave you speechless and in awe! And while this place is a national monument, one thing our government could do instead of all the other nonsense going on is to upgrade this place to a national park. We stopped in here after spending time at Kartchner Caverns and today the scenic drive beyond the campground was closed because of the rain and snow that came down steadily last night. And because of this and due to the amount of time we had, we did a shorter walk along the Silver Spur Meadow. This trail is very easy, well shaded and what a beautiful place to view birds! I think may have seen 15 or more species in just the short walk we did here today. I was also here about 2 years ago and did the Echo Canyon Trail to the Grotto and that was such a lovely easy hike with all sorts of cool rock formations and I enjoyed climbing around. Id like to come back and do a more strenuous hike and when I get a chance, will come back and do the Heart of the Rocks trail! Visitor center is very cool with a really nice gift shop, museum, bathrooms and very informative rangers. Parking lot can be a bit tight but more parking available down the road. I was able to get a fun stuffed sandhill crane! I could spend a lot more time here and just love this place! Great place to get a dose of nature and love how the air feels at close to 5500 feet!

Lordsburg, New Mexico…read more There is another Veteran's Park in Deming, NM (South-Central). This Veterans Park is not to be confused with the Deming location as this park is situated in South-West New Mexico near the Arizona border off of I-10. The park is officially closed due to COVID mess. However, we just parked off the road & walked on the front portion of the park where there are plenty of statues, flags, placards & signs, and a tank. Visible from the outside was a large parking structure, more statues & a bunch of picnic tables. This park was an ideal location to take a quick break to stretch the legs, move around a bit, take pictures and the sorts. It's best to walk around or move about on open land during long road trips every 2-3 hours to prevent fatique, blood clots and enjoy the scenery. There are a lot of bugs and flies so keep the doors/windows closed during your break. I am sure the typical desert wildlife such as snakes, etc. are lurking amidst so travel cautiously. Lordsburg is a decent sized town (not city) w/ all the necessary supplies at Love's or Flying J's travel centers (big gas stations). Lordsburg also has various dining options, dollar stores, markets, motels and a fireworks store. Notable places to scope if you are here: 1. Shakespeare Ghost Town (Closed during covid). 2. Lordsburg-Hidalgo County Museum, and 3. Fraggle Rock (open 24/7). Notable regions to visit: 1. Silver City (town) about one hour north and 2. Tombstone, Arizona about two hours west. 3. Whitmire Canyon desert/Animas Mountain Range (very dangerous) about 90 minutes south. 4. Las Cruces/White Sands Missile Base about two hours east. White Sands is where the Atomic Bomb Testing (Manhattan Project) occurred. Travel Safely my friends. @cigarcpa
