Back in the 70's I had the whole place to myself - or at least my family had it all to ourselves!! I would hike up to the Box and sometimes through the Box everyday. When I would get home from school or on weekends I'd be hiking up to the Box. The trail is a secret - The Nature... More

Ramsey Canyon is different from the various canyons in the area because it's operated by the Nature Conservancy. The trails are well-maintained, there's a brochure that provides info at numbered stops, and there are NC staffers in and around the visitors' center who can provide great information on not just Ramsey, but the other wildlife hot spots in the area....

My boys complained about the... More

I dislike being asked by Tripadvisor for 50 characters of open ended review. Either settle for my star rating or nothing.

The Ramsey Canyon Preserve is owned and operated by The Nature Conservancy. The staff was very nice and hospitable. The trail was excellently maintained and peaceful. The overlook at the top is excellent. If desired, the trail connects to the trail system in the Huachuca Mountains. The only bad thing was the Preserve doesn't open until 8 am (I like... More
