Go Natural in a Historical Park
Tumacácori National Historical Park
Nature in a historical park? Yes! The park's many habitats, both natural and cultivated, make its small area proportionally diverse.
It's silly, really, to try to separate the two. Nature and history are so intertwined, one can hardly look at one without the other. But if you're inclined toward non-human living things, there are a few places we have to recommend.
