The northeast facing canyons of the Huachuca Mountains in southeastern Arizona with their spring-fed streams provide a moist cool environment unusual in the desert southwest.
Trees like sycamores and maples grow along the streams, often within a few feet of cacti, yucca, and agaves.

During the Fall, the trees begin to change color, showing as much autumn blush as many trees in more temperate climates of the U.S.
