The area is beautiful! Not far from Safford and only two miles off the highway, this is an easily accessible area to search for fire agates. Unfortunately, the area has been picked over pretty hard. Most anything sizable (larger than the size of a quarter) with good fire color has been collected. There are so many really small (finger nail) sized pieces with really beautiful color. This is a beautiful area with great desert vistas, views of Mt. Graham, and access to the rest of the blackhills scenic byway.
