Arizona - Coronado Cross Climb, Sierra Vista

At an impressive height of 5,300 feet in the Huachuca Mountains, the 31-foot statue of Mary stands tall above the desert floor, appearing deceptively close. From her elevated position, she surveys the vast San Pedro Valley below and the distant Mule mountains on the horizon. With arms outstretched, it almost seems as if she is beckoning you and your bike up the challenging hill, her right hand pointing towards a 75-foot Celtic cross nearby, while her left hand gestures towards the Mexico-Arizona border just a few miles away. The stunning view from the peak makes the climb well worth it.
