Summary: This is a very flat and enjoyable hike to do. Perfect for bird watchers and children. At the trailhead make sure and grab an interpretive trail guide brochure. Along the trail there are numbered markers which coincide with the guide and explains pertinent information about the area and it's history. While this hike itself is only 1.5 miles once all of the trails are completed in the trail system there will be roughly 30 miles of trails. The highlight of the hike is the San Pedro river with majestic cottonwood trees lining the banks on both sides. Make sure and allow time to linger at the river and watch for birds or frogs! Trailhead: The San Pedro House lies 8 miles east of Sierra Vista along Highway 90 in the San Pedro River Valley. Right before you reach the San Pedro River you'll see a sign for the San Pedro House on your right. Follow the short dirt road about 100 yards and you'll come to the parking and will see the house. There is gift shop will plenty of great local information as well as restrooms. The trail starts to the left of the house and heads towards the river.

Reviewed by Nancy on 9/17/2006 I walked the trail this morning, arrived at the trailhead at 7, there were no guide brochures available. The trail is generally in good shape, but in a couple cases, I had to make an educated guess as to the direction to travel. That said, the wildflowers, birds and small animals on the route made it a worthwhile trip. And, restrooms at the trailhead are well maintained. Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous.
