ramsey canyon preserve

Did you know Sierra Vista is known as the hummingbird capital of the world? Well, now you do. From town, take Hwy 92 south to Ramsey Canyon Road. Turn right and follow the road until it ends at a quaint little B&B (520-378-3010) at the mouth of the Hummingbird Preserve.

They ask a $5 "donation" fee per car to go walk around. I think the first Saturday of every month is free. Last time we went, we saw more deer than hummingbirds*, but perhaps we were there out of season. Beautiful grounds, regardless.

Call 520-378-2785 for more info.

*see the San Pedro River post for more on hummingbirds
