Tell me about Ajo, Arizona
Planning on stopping in Ajo for a few days. Our expectations are: we love history and architecture, birding, hiking, mountain biking, easy to moderate 4wd roads, etc. We are not arm chair snowbirders....

Off road 4x4 is awesome and hundreds of miles of trails. We take our ATVs from the Yuma area to Ajo and back, spending the night in Ajo. Round trip is 250± miles, depending on the route we take. You get within a couple hundred yards of the border, go through a federal wildlife refuge and stand a good chance of seeing the Sonoran Big Horn sheep, cougar, Mexican grey wolf and many deer. Have been a visitor to Ajo since the early 50's and it is a town full of history. Try the Starlite Restaurant for the best burger in southern AZ.
