Visitors to the Longhorn Grill, one of Southern Arizona’s most iconic landmarks, enter through its famous front door sculpted to resemble a gigantic cow’s skull leaning against a boulder. Inside, you’ll find a refreshed interior and a welcoming menu of classic grill favorites, fresh salads, and hearty sandwiches.
Lunch is included from a limited menu, giving everyone time to relax and enjoy a satisfying meal together before continuing our day. After lunch, we’ll head to beautiful Madera Canyon, nestled on the northwestern face of the Santa Rita Mountains within the Coronado National Forest.
This renowned “Sky Island” spans multiple life zones, creating rich habitat for wildlife and making it one of Arizona’s most celebrated birding destinations. With hummingbirds, deer, wild turkeys, and countless other species commonly seen, Madera Canyon offers a peaceful and unforgettable springtime escape surrounded by mountain scenery.
