Here lived the ancient Anasazi and their descendants leaving their traces amongst the boulders.
We will wander the mountains harvesting food and sleep beneath a blanket of stars or a sheltering cave dreaming of the ancients.
This incredible landscape of Upper Sonora and Pinion/Juniper offers wonders from the rock art to the well-adapted thorny (and often) edible vegetation.
Have you dreamed of being part of a clan that you know and trust, living with just the things you have made with your own hands from raw natural materials, heading off into the wilderness and seeing what it feels like to be completely immersed?
