Willcox

From Wikitravel

Jump to: navigation, search

Willcox [1] is a town in Cochise County, Southeast Arizona. It is a gateway to Chiricahua National Monument and other scenic sites in the region.

[edit] Get in

Willcox is approximately half way between Tucson and the New Mexico state line, on Interstate highway 10. The nearest commercial air service is to Tucson. If you're driving to town on I-10, be aware that the road is one of the United States' major east-west commercial arteries, and is full of truck traffic, much of it traveling at speeds well beyond the posted 75 mph.

[edit] Get out

  • Chiricahua National Monument [3]
  • Fort Bowie National Historic Site [4] is an oddity in the United States National Parks system, in that you must hike cross-country to get to it rather than just driving. The parking area is reachable via the Apache Pass road southeast of Willcox. The ruins of an old fort are about a three-mile (round trip) hike from the parking area (bring plenty of water).
