Madera Canyon - Santa Rita Mountains

The drive up Medera Canyon is very beautiful as you rise out of the desert grasslands into the sky island of the Santa Rita Mountains. A three mile paved road winds up the lower reaches of the canyon, right beside Madera Creek, ending at a fork in the stream just before the land rises much more steeply. The canyon is also a famed wildlife location, in particular for birds, with over 250 species recorded, while other notable wildlife includes coati, black bear, mountain lion, bighorn sheep, bobcat and ring-tailed cat.
