First visit to this area. Spent the day with Lynn and Skippy exploring the Refuge. Incredible amount of wildlife along with lush green grass. Took a couple of backroad hikes, Buenos Aires Ranch trail, Pronghorn Drive (need to bring the mountain bikes next time), Arivaca Creek Trail, Mustang Trail, Arivaca Cienega Trail.

Read reports that Arivaca is a ghost town. Yes there's some abandoned buildings, but there are at least 2 bars, couple of corner stores, and many cows wandering through town!

Researching the Hike Description I noticed there is a special permit/guided hike to Brown's Canyon and a hidden natural bridge. May check that out soon...
