South of Sierra Vista on Hwy 92 is the turn to road to the Coronado National Memorial Park. 5 miles takes to into a tree and brush-filled canyon. Very pretty. The Visitor Center is rather small but nicely setup to tell the story of explorations of Francisco Vazquez Coronado into the area in 1540. There were more than 1300 in the party that roamed throughout the area. They wrote journals of their travels, created maps, and forever changed the people that they encountered.
Randa found some "cute" items in the gift shop. The volunteer behind the counter was helpful and informative as well. He recommended that we continue on past the VC and drive the dirt road up to Montezuma Pass. "You will enjoy it." He was right ! It was narrow, dirt, with many tight switchback turns. It was Wonderful ! Great views. The views en route and at the top were worth the trip. I definite good thing.
If you look closely you can see the road below
