Ok, we do not have tigers. But we do have lions and bears plus Big Horn Sheep, and lots of wild animal diversity. Our population of wolves has grown and birding continues to grow partially due to favorable access to fresh water.

Greenlee County boasts 5 rivers that run throughout the year, making fishing attractive for outdoors people who enjoy solitude, grandeur and great fishing holes!

Here in Clifton, for example, there is always a nightly parade of javelina, racoon, coatimundi, skunks and fox.

Lately, several privately owned security cameras in East Side Clifton and South Clifton have captured a fully grown mountain lion, It HAS NOT shown aggressive behavior however it as a wild animal so we must be alert and aware of our surroundings.

For more articles and photos the Greenlee Tourism Association has amassed a wide range of details and facts about Greenlee County. It never ceases to amaze tourists and visitors how beautiful, historically significant. People often about our pristine forests and clear water rivers.
