On February 5, 2002 Funhog placed the Madera Canyon letterbox near the town
of Green Valley, Pima County, Arizona. Madera Canyon is a mountainous,
green respite from the flat Sonoran desert. Bird watchers from the world
over visit this area. At the Santa Rita Lodge there are numerous bird
feeders and is a wonderful place to relax, sitting on a bench, gazing at
the numerous visitors both human and avian. There are no places to buy food
in the canyon. So, bring a lunch and spend a tranquil afternoon amongst the
Oaks and Sycamores.
To the trailhead: Go south from Tucson on I-19 to exit 63. From here go 1.1
miles east to Whitehouse Rd. Turn right and drive to the end of the road.
You will be at the Roundup Picnic Area and Nature Trail. The trail begins
at the lowest parking lot.
To the letterbox: Tread on concrete listening to the gentle whisper to your
right until it is no more. Keep on the trail until you are invited to take
a seat. Thirty-eight steps beyond this point you will see a rock to the
right leaning against a tree. Peek beneath.
