Customer Reviews

★★★☆☆ 3.0 M H · Oct 2025

The San Raphael Valley is a beautiful place you can drive or bike through, but the state-owned San Rafael State Natural Area is not open to the public, so there is nowhere to get off the road to hike or walk around.

★★★★★ 5.0 Rubina Heptulla, MD, MBA · Dec 2025

Amazing special place for birding in grasslands

★★★★☆ 4.0 Joseph Bingham · Mar 2020

This type of grassland used to extend further across Arizona and New Mexico. Overgrazing of cattle brought down the grass and allowed tougher thorn bushes to take over. Some of the best grasslands that are preserved in Southern Arizona are private ranchos the owners took care of.
