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.
