Review:
Birding enthusiasts definitely need to add the small town of Willcox to their winter day trip agenda. This is the time of year that thousands of sandhill cranes, as well as a host of other water birds, migrate to the Cochise Lakes to over-winter.
The mild winter climate of the Sonora Desert also means that winter is the prime time to come and spend a day enjoying hiking, cycling and picnicking at the Chiricahua National Monument. If you are into history you can take a scenic drive from Willcox along the Magic Circle of Cochise, visiting the famous Apache Pass and Fort Bowie National Historic Site.
