Rolling grasslands of Las Cienegas NCA (aka, Empire Ranch).
March 22
After leaving Ajo AZ, we returned to the area outside Madera Canyon (near Green Valley AZ) for a few days.
With some cool days coming, the elevation near Green Valley (about 3000') made for warmer temps than Empire Ranch (4900').

Now the elevation was working to our advantage with mid 80's in the forcast (mid 90's in Green Valley and Ajo). There's also plenty of roads and trails to explore in this 45,000 acre site.
This is still a working cattle ranch so it's not unusual to have visitors in your site.
On one of our bike rides we came across a small herd, this must be the Nursery Tree!

After a few nice days there was more weather moving in. We put the bikes away and took a drive to scout for future campsites.

Tuesday was a hunker down day with high winds, cold temps (high in the 40's) and intermittent rain. Even a few claps of thunder.
The end of a blustery day.
The day after...
More to come from Empire Ranch.
