Step Back...to a place steeped in the mining, ranching, and railroad history that built the West. Step back to a place where residents share stories at the post office and local businesses are still owned by local people.

Relax...in the shade thrown from magnificent cottonwood, Arizona oak, walnut, and willow forests. Unwind with a leisurely cup of coffee, a glass of locally made wine, or that book you've been meaning to read.

Stay Awhile...in a bed and breakfast, inn, or retreat center, and serendipitously sample local food, art galleries, shops, wineries, hiking trails, and surrounding ghost towns. Stay awhile and discover why Patagonia, Sonoita, and Elgin provide the perfect destination for a long weekend getaway or a leisurely day away from the city.
