We had nary a disappointment at VELVET ELVIS, which has a mishmash decor. It's part Zen meets Western art meets Kokopelli meets -- yes -- a black velvet Elvis Presley painting. Somehow it all works, and it's helped immensely by delicious food, like the Greek salad ($7.50) . . . Doused in an olive oil that tastes like olives and with loads of feta cheese, the salad would be a quality meal by itself. We also ordered a one-size-fits-all pizza (16 inches, $16.99) covered with pepperoni, sausage, Canadian bacon, mushrooms and black olives, and affectionately nicknamed "The Good, the Bad & the Ugly."

Fishing, birding, boating and swimming at a 3750' elevation. Tucked away in the rolling hills of southeastern Arizona is a hidden treasure. Patagonia Lake State Park was established in 1975 as a state park and is an ideal place to find whitetail deer roaming the hills and great blue herons walking the shoreline. The campground overlooks a 265-acre man-made lake where anglers catch crappie, bass, bluegill, and catfish. Trout is stocked every three weeks from October through March. The tracks of the New Mexico/Arizona railroad lie beneath the lake and remnants of the old historic line may be found at the Nature Conservancy in Patagonia. Hikers can stroll along the beautiful creek trail and see a variety of birds such as the canyon towhee, Inca dove, vermilion flycatcher, black vulture, and several species of hummingbirds.

Tells the story of the first Europeans who came to southern Arizona and of the native people who lived here then. It is a dramatic story from any perspective: at stake was not only basic survival but hearts and minds. And yet even then, each new day brought birdsong and breakfast to native, priest, settler, and soldier alike. All changed bit by bit as the days unfolded, until a vigorous new culture blending elements from ristras to rosaries was born.

Dos Cabezas WineWorks is a family-owned and operated winery that challenges the perception that Arizona does not produce exceptional wines. Dos Cabezas WineWorks has been producing wines in Arizona since 1995. The winery was originally located on the 80 acre Dos Cabezas Vineyard near Willcox, AZ. Just after the harvest of 2006, winemaker Todd Bostock purchased the winery with the help of his wife Kelly and his parents Frank and Paula. The winery was moved to Sonoita, Arizona, close to the vineyard the family planted in Elgin in 2003. Our wine has been enjoyed at the White House, earned critical acclaim and grabbed international attention. Yes, we make great wine. And yes, it's made near the rolling hills of Southeastern Arizona where birds, bobcats and pronghorn antelope call home.

The Preserve is one of the best-known and most popular places for birding in the U.S. More birders have seen their first Gray hawks here than anywhere else. The streamside or riparian habitat found along Sonoita Creek contains some of the richest habitat remaining in Southern Arizona. More than 300 species migrate, nest, and live in this critical habitat and bird enthusiasts come thousands of miles to catch a glimpse of some of them. Of particular interest are the Gray hawk, vermilion flycatcher, violet-crowned hummingbird, thick-billed kingbird, zone-tailed hawk, green kingfisher, white-throated sparrows (in winter) and black-bellied whistling duck. But even if you can't tell a bluebird from a blue jay, the Preserve still offers something for you. Three miles of easy walking trails take you along Sonoita Creek and through rare cottonwood willow forest, and the peace that comes from relaxing under 140 year-old cottonwood trees will bring you one step closer to nature. Come during the summer months when the wildflowers are blooming! Guided walks are offered every Saturday morning at 9:00am starting from the Visitor Center.
