Ft. Bowie National Historic Site, Sandhill Cranes, & Wine - Willcox, AZ
Tumblr media
Our second day in the Willcox area, we started off our day hoping to see the sandhill cranes. We went out to the east side of the Willcox Playa Wildlife Area. We walked along the old dirt road for a bit, before we turned around - there was no water and no cranes! We will try again later - maybe they are on the west side of the playa. We decided to continue today’s adventure with a drive out to Ft. Bowie. The fort is located off of Apache Pass, which is reached by driving a ways on a dirt road, which is a left turn off the road out to the Chiricahuas from Willcox. There are lots of signs, so you can’t miss the turnoff, however, I would not drive this road if there is any chance of rain - it would be a slippery mess. Luckily, we had a beautiful day, just a bit windy. At the pass, there is a parking area and the trailhead for the short hike out to the fort. It is a great little hike and the fort is pretty cool to checkout - there is a nice visitor center at the fort, too.

Everyone was all smiles at the start of our hike!

It was easy to see why this area was so important to the Native Americans and those individuals making their way westward.

Butterfield Overland Mail Trail - just incredible how tough people were back then!

Ft. Bowie cemetery - it was interesting to read the information on all of the gravestones. There is a pamphlet available at the cemetery entrance that guides you through the markers.

By the time we reached the fort, the winds were really howling. We hiked back, rather quickly due to the weather coming in, and drove back to Willcox. We decided to drive by the playa to see if there were any cranes. We spotted a couple cranes near the water, when we first drove into the area. We got out of the car to take pictures. Once we were out of the car, I could hear a low humming noise coming from the other side of one of the bodies of water. I looked over there and realized that the ground was covered with hundreds of sandhill cranes! It was amazing! Unfortunately, they were too far away for any pictures, but we did look at them through some binoculars. We drove around the main body of water and were able to see a group that was sitting on the edge of the water and grasses. We were so happy that we actually got to see cranes during our visit - SUCCESS! The cloudy day made it hard to get a good picture, but we still have the memory!

We ended the second day with a wine tasting and late lunch at Coronado Vineyards. Lovely wines and great food. Perfect ending to our time in Willcox. We are already planning our next trip together!

"See? It's better when you tell it, mom."
[id: Digital sketch of Lady Usher and Roxie, a redraw of Jessie Willcox Smith's 1908 illustration "My Home is in my Mother's Eyes". Lady Usher sits in a white nightgown and shawl over her shoulders, hand supporting young Roxie, who is hugging her waist. Lady Usher's shawl is pale blue with faint stars on it and she's wearing a star necklace. Roxie's red hair is tied in two braids that end in little black bows. She's in Mary Janes and a pale pink dress, that matches her also pale pink socks, which have a faint flower pattern on them. On the right of the image reads "Little bits of stardust ." /end id]
