Sierra Vista Ranger District
In the Huachuca Mountains, located directly behind the District Office, there is a wide variety of things to do and see, from hiking and birdwatching to hunting and hang gliding. The Huachucas are home to many rare and sensitive plant and animal species including the Elegant Trogon (a sensitive visitor from Mexico) and the rare Lemon Lily. They receive approxamately 20 inches of precipitation each year, providing a major water source for the greater Sierra Vista area and the distant town of Tombstone.

The tallest peak in the Huachuca Mountains, Miller Peak, is also the highest, southernmost peak in the U.S., with an elevation of 9,466 ft. It is the centerpiece of the Miller Peak Wilderness which contains approximately 20,190 acres of National Forest land. There are many trails in this wilderness that go through everything from Upper Sonoran (oak, pinyon, juniper) to Hudsonian (spruce, fir) life zones, offering spectacular vistas of the San Pedro and San Rafael valleys as well as neighboring mountain ranges.
