Apache Springs

Apache Springs is located in a raven leading to a canyon that goes down between the Dos Cabezas and Chiricahua Mountains. The spring is full of sparklingly clear and cool water flowing between oak trees with exposed roots and green moss clinging to the stones in the rim of the basin. Apache Pass is the pass that the spring is located in.

The pass is approximately a mile above sea level where there are two life zones and two deserts blended. A hot high desert known as Chihuahuan is found in the east and in the west is the Sonoran which is hotter although lower than the Chihuahuan. The deserts are both marked with cholla, agave, sotol and yucca as they merge with a wood land covered with oak, pinyon pine, mountain mahogany and juniper to distinguish it from its surroundings.

Apache Springs are the only source of water in the area all year long so you will find a variety of animals at it. The spring was discovered over a millennium ago by the Mogollon people and continues to beautify the area. Anyone in the Willcox, Arizona area should visit Apache Springs at least once to take in all the beauty that the area has to offer.
