Echo Canyon Loop is a 4 mile heavily trafficked loop trail located near Willcox, Arizona that offers the chance to see wildlife and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, running, and bird watching and is accessible year-round.

The trail is in the Chiricahua National Monument Park. Fantastic views and great rock formations. So different than anything else we have seen. If you are in the area, you need to get here. The trail is above 6,000 feet, so it was a bit cold and there was snow (our first of the season – and last we hope).

We did the moderate 4 mile loop, but next time we need to do the Big Loop, so we can see Bog Balanced Rock and Pinnacle Balanced Rock on the trails.

We took lots of pictures below, but they do not do justice to the beauty of this place! Click here for photos from the Park’s webpage.

If you are ever in Benson, AZ you must eat at Mi Casa.

This is a family run restaurant with fabulous food. The food presentation was so pleasing to the eye. The flavors were amazing. Don’t leave without getting the Carrot cake and Sopapillas. Wow!

This is a very small restaurant with a limited number of tables, so be patient, you will not be disappointed. We both had the daily specials – outstanding.

Normally, we are not big cave people, but Kartchner Caverns are very nice. We took the “Big Room” guided tour which takes and Hour and 45 minutes. Very interesting and informative. We will take the Rotunda/Throne Tour the next time we are in town.

You are not allowed to take pictures or video. In fact they want you to leave all your stuff in your car or a locker to protect the cave. Here is a video showing the Caverns.

Tuesday night we overnighted at Boogie’s Brewery and Distillery (Harvest Hosts) in Deming, NM. Very interesting place with lots of character. They stopped brewing during Covid, and are only distilling various rums and tequila. They have different food trucks every night; for us, it was Taco Tuesday and we enjoyed the tacos. Stop by and see Entrepreneurial Sprint at its best. These people are working hard make a business. Fun People!

Wednesday and Thursday nights we stayed at Lifestyle RV Resort and Fitness in Wilcox, AZ. Nice setup with an indoor heated pool and Hot tub. They also have a sauna, great workout room and lots a other amenities. We would highly recommend them. All for $40/night. Small park but not small on amenities.

On Thursday, we went to Willcox Playa Wildlife Area in search of Sand Hill Cranes. There is a 2.4 mile loop out to a lake where they like to nest. It was a nice, peaceful hike, but unfortunately we did not see any cranes. Maybe next time. The hike was worth the great views of the desert and the mountains on either side.

On the way back, we stopped at Birds and Barrels for a Wine Tasting. We sampled 6 wines and all were good. We learned that Willcox is the biggest wine producing region in Arizona. There are 6 wine tastings within walking distance, and many, many vineyards.

There are 7 Winery Harvest Hosts in the area. We could have winery hopped every night – idea for the future. Willcox is very nice with a cute downtown. We will return here now that we know all it has to offer.
