The San Francisco River runs through our valley from the north; Whitewater and Mineral Creeks cascade from the east; the spectacular Mogollon Mountain Range outlines the sky.
We are surrounded by the Gila National Forest and the 1st Wilderness area to be established in the United States. A bird watchers paradise; from bald and golden eagles to the resident great blue herons and black hawks; migrating cranes, geese and ducks to six different species of hummingbirds buzzing the bountiful gardens.
Our area has some of the darkest sky on earth. The Cosmic Campground was founded by individuals who partnered with the U.S. Forest Service. It is located 14 miles north of Glenwood and 25 miles south of Reserve. This is an accessible world class astronomical site.
