    Overlook

    Very nice trail, very sweet staff. First half mile is a pretty easy walk but if you want to go to the overlook it is quite a hike. You see deers, and lots of birds on your walk. Very well maintained.

    And so it begins.

    A beautiful place to visit. Not a long drive, close to highway but scenery is just beautiful. Lots of animals to see.

    Brown Canyon Ranch is a very popular local hang-out all times of day. Retirees walk here early in…read morethe mornings, then come the mountain bikers, and then the hikers, runners, equestrians. Weddings and Senior pics are also popular. Day use is now $8. There is a restroom and several picnic areas by the pond to sit back and relax. To avoid the fee, park off Ramsey Canyon Road and walk the 0.8 mile to the ranch house. My hiking group does weekly loop hikes in Brown Canyon. The ranch house is open during daylight. The pond is a habitat for the endangered Chiricahua Leopard Frog. There are several trails that start at the ranch house. The Brown Canyon trail is a four-mile trail that one can take into Ramsey Canyon. The Garden Connector trail, which begins off the Buffalo Soldier Trail and SR92, ends here. The Brown Canyon Loop trail also starts here, although it's not marked. Just make sure you turn left at the horse trough two miles into the hike. This is a 4.6-mile loop. Just watch out for speeding mountain bikers. There is also a 1.5-mile Nature Trail loop with a duck pond. Dogs are allowed on these trails, but must be leashed. This place can get busy on the weekends. Watch out for rattlesnakes, javelina, coyote and deer.

    Breathtaking views of the mountains with excellent beginner's walking path for the entire family…read more Very informative displays inside the cabin. There's a tiny duck pond on the walking path and a small bench to rest and take in the beautiful scenery. Pet's are welcome as long as you clean up after them to preserve the walking path. Watch out for snakes and other little critters.

    I live 11 miles from this place, but it's only been ten days since I found it. A friend lives…read morenearby and said this is where she parks her car and walks her dog on a three-mile loop down to the San Pedro River and back. She took me here with another dogwalker and I've been coming here daily ever since. There isn't much at the actual kill site other than a plaque describing how Ed Lehner in 1952, landowner of this site, who found butchering tools along with tapir, mammoth, bison and horse bones dating 11,000 years ago when Clovis people lived here. There's nothing here now but the plaque on a high spot in the area. It's now used mostly for other things: It's a great place to set up a telescope on a new moon, or a camera tripod for those gorgeous sun rises and sunsets, and moon rises and moon sets. You have a panoramic view of the Huachuca Mountains. About 50 meters east is a trail that locals use for their dogs and horses. It is a perimeter trail that loops around the field. Birders at the nearby San Pedro B&B use this trail along the river early in the mourning and near dusk to spot birds of all kinds. There are harriers that fly over the field looking for a meal. I would not suggest anyone come here after dusk, as it's six miles from the border with Mexico.

    Just a plaque. Nothing there. But nice to think there were mammoths there and was probably a kill…read moresite for prehistoric people.

    Possibly the best National Historic Site I've been to in a very long time…read more - Great mile and half trail to access the fort. There is also an ADA road access option but I'd recommend the trail unless you can't make the hike. It's a fairly easy trail. Going back to the trailhead, take the Overlook Ridge trail located north of the visitor center. It affords better views of the site. - Lots of informative signs along the trail and at the fort describing the history (which is sordid - Cochise was framed!). - Also lots of signs identifying the various plants. - Visitor center has a great collection of artifacts and especially, old photos. - The fort itself is very interesting - many buildings (or rather, the remains of buildings) to explore. Don't forget to walk up the short trail on the west side to see the original fort.

    This is certainly an interesting set up for a national historic site. You drive partially on a dirt…read moreroad and then park and set out on a 1.5 mile hike with placards and historic points of interest along the way. Make sure to bring water! If you have a disability, you can skip the hike and drive in, but you have to make prior arrangements so they can open the road for you. It's due to the road crossing sensitive ecological areas so they want to limit traffic. Since I visited in winter, a lot of the critters were hibernating/less active, so I didn't see any wildlife. The hike was ok. Sometimes the trail was narrow and so you were brushing up against grass. There's no water on the trail until the visitor center so make sure you bring water. There's a spring along the way (0.25 miles from the visitor center) but it's not treated and not recommended to drink from it. The ruins are not going to be restored, rather they put concrete/plaster over it to preserve them. There's some exhibits in the visitor center explaining things, but the volunteer and rangers are better sources of information. Otherwise I wish that there were more details. There's a small gift shop as well. Restrooms are at the trailhead and at the visitor center.
