Monday dawned quite cloudy and overcast and we were looking for a new road to travel. We tossed the coin and headed off to Sierra Vista via Rt. 90 as we had not gone that way before. We found Sierra Vista pretty much the same as when we last saw it 5 or 10 years ago and decided to head further south to Coronado National Monument, again all new territory once you get south of the Ramsey Canyon Road. They have a visitors center with the National Park Stamp (Betsy collects them) and enjoyed the very tiny museum and information about Coronado's march through the southwest into Kansas. The views were wonderful and you can see into Mexico easily as the southern edge of the Monument land is on the border.
After leaving Coronado Monument we wanted to take a look at the San Pedro Riparian Area know for its many birding opportunities. I always love to see the Cottonwoods leafing out and was not disappointed as they are looked quite spectacular. We drove down the Hereford Road and went as far as the bridge. Then on to the next adventure.
We traveled north back through Huachuca City on Hwy 90 then over to Sonoita on Hwy 82, a road traveled many times. On 82 we enjoyed the vast yellow grass prairies with the mountains in the background and the beautiful fluffy clouds in the bright blue sky......see for yourself. Another beautiful day!
