As someone who's in my 20's generally I was told the area appeals to seniors but I think its really a cool town in general for anyone who likes small towns. I was introduced to the place when I was 16 and sparked my interest. At one point I used to live down there a couple years ago and after leaving due to family reasons I realize how cool of a place Cochise County was and someday hope to go back. Great weather, cheap cost of living, wide open spaces, clean air, slow pace, mellow drivers, green monsoon seasons. The Chiricahuas are a hidden gem just a couple hours east of SV. Southeast AZ is super underrated in general.
We retied to SV 12 years ago and think it is a great place. We live within a mile from everything (mall, Walmart, Lowes. Home Depot, Texas Roadhouse, Applebee's, Chili's, C-A-L Ranch, Tractor Supply, Fry's and Safeway grocery stores, post office, Veterans Park, aquatic center, skate park, farmers' market, all the fast food places). We enjoy all the city parks, doggie park and trails in town. We're less than two miles from our doctor's office and the new Canyon Vista Medical Center. Due to the army's Fort Huachuca the city is very racially diverse. Soldiers have brought spouses back from many places around the world resulting in a lot of ethnic restaurants (German, Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese and more). Nice video!
I was born here. And lived there most of my life . my family has ranched in the area for 80years. It is beautiful around it. The army guys are bored because there isn't much night life. But it is rich in history.
My husband and I are looking to move there from Reno, NV and I was wondering what the horse scene is like there. Is there plenty of BLM land up in the foothills and mountains to ride in?
After working for the Sierra Vista Herald in the late 80s and 90s I had to move away for 22 years but have retired here. You're video taught me some new things I didn't even know so thanks and good work.
My family is from Bisbee and Naco Mexico. I was born on Ft Huachuca. I currently live in Washington state but if I ever moved back to Arizona it would be to the sierra vista/Bisbee area. Much cooler compared to phoenix and Tucson, at least when I lived there, lol. And more green along the Huachuca mountains
I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and I just realized you had this one. I live here! It’s a lovely place and I’m so happy someone did it justice in a video. Thank you for visiting!
Army brat at Ft. Huachuca 1960-61, between our two tours of Germany. Attended Sierra Vista Jr. High. Went back to visit with my son in 2006. He loved the Museum on post. Me too. It certainly wasn’t there back in the day.
I lived there for about a year and a half, and I do miss it. One of the best things about living there is the people. We made some wonderful friends and have never felt more comfortable and welcomed.
That’s what I read about Bisbee. That the town is very clique and gossipy. I grew up in Milwaukee and I now live in a small clique town and the people suck. I like small towns I just don’t like shitty people.
Excellent video!!! I grew up in Sierra Vista. Super happy to see a travel video on it. I think you captured the city surrounding areas pretty well. Thank you! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Great video! I grew up in Ramsay Canyon. My grandparents, Carrol & Joan Peabody, used to own it before donating the property to The Nature Conservancy.
@@Ramphastos333 thank you. The Nature Conservancy was the right choice to protect this special place long into the future. We (my family) were able to place a memorial, a Boulder with plaque by the main visitors center to commemorate my grandparents for their land stewardship, the donation and their unending love of hummingbirds!
@@snowkatshredhead We're camping at Kartchner next week and I hope to have a morning to visit Ramsey (again, been there many times), I will definitely look for that plaque/boulder!
Go to Tombstone but before you go watch the movie Tombstone with Kurt Russel & Val Kilmer you won't be disappointed. Oh and check out the worlds largest Rosebush its a god dam tree & a must see great video.
Used to call it Sorry Vista, but its appeal is undeniable. Great retirement location and a hidden gem in my opinion. I'd love to live in between both SV and Bisbee if possible someday. Thx for the video.
I been here 9 years tombstone and Bisbee are cool and some of the anicient writing is cool but the actually city of Sierra vista is kind of boring but I like it here
Well the SV city services Cochise County, so it’s got the big box stores, so true @AZRubs, but the draw is nature, biking, and magnificent bird watching!!!
I love Tombstone but Bisbee is better to me. You should have showed the Mountain view by the caves. I grew up in that whole are of cochise county. I live in Ticson now but I love it down there.
I live nearby here and don’t take the van if you like thrills. Just take a full size truck or SUV up the mountain’s road. (More like a single lane dirt road) 11/10 Thrill especially if boulders are in the center of the trail.
It's a well-made video, but my experiences with Sierra Vista are quite different, The hiking areas are not particularly attractive because it is SO dry. [Admittedly, the museum at Brown Canyon Ranch is interesting. ] We moved there after a few visits because we found a house we loved, and now I really wish we hadn't. Tombstone could be fun for a visit, but keep in mind that it's probably not much like the "real thing." When the County Seat moved from Tombstone to Bisbee, Tombstone had to come up with something to keep the city afloat financially, and have been overly imaginative in their re-creation of the old town. Maybe we've just seen too much in traveling to other places. You might want to add in the Ash Canyon Bird Sanctuary, and especially the Arizona Folklore Preserve, which is the only thing that makes living in the area better. We locals joke about how hard it is to find a good restaurant [except maybe for the expensive Italian restaurant] and that every time a new restaurant opens, we get our hopes up and dash there, and are again disappointed. Sierra Vista is very cold in the winter, and cooler than other parts of Arizona in the summer, but still warmer than many of us like. The best thing to say about it as a tourist site is "only an hour to Tucson" [or Patagonia, or Tubac, or Mission San Antonio de Tumacacori.] Best places to eat in the area are The Velvet Elvis in Patagonia or "Siete" just a block or two the other side of the border in Naco. There is a chain steakhouse in Sierra Vista that is pretty good, but when we went there on a weekday at lunch it was too loud for conversation, and it must be worse at night. It's an okay place if you can get there when it's not overly hot and not cold and raining, and if you don't have to go far to get there, but I wouldn't put it high on the list of places to visit, ad definitely do not recommend living there.
There is a place you missed in the mountains of Carr canyon, the road takes you up to the waterfall, plus there are also hidden ruins in the mountains, they are impossible to see from the sky but if you are able to find a flat field of wheat, head south and you will be able to find them
I love Hereford; the wild horse area is my favorite! Every time I visit, I enjoy hiking and going to Fort Huachuca for some bowling time. It is a great area. Someday I will build my dream house there!❤
Thank you for the delightful coverage of the High Points of Sierra Vista. I have visited there a few times and experienced half of the Reasons that you covered. I will be moving to SV in July and plan to take in the remainder of the attractions plus hike the abundance of trails. Cheers.
Wow! How beautiful! The scenery is so magical. You can tell that by just being there brings inner peace. Thank you for such a beautiful vlog. Everyone who can should experience such a special part of our country. The emptiness around you in this picture...
Well went to AIT from late 1976 to early 1977 at Fort Huachuca and later was stationed there from late 1986 to 1989 then was back for Senior NCO Academy in 1992. I had no problem with the area but my wife really was not a big fan of the area. Did ride my bike once from Fort Huachuca over to Tombstone which was during the summer (I do not recommend doing that). In total spent just a little less than four years in this area.
Having grown up in Tombstone, I can assure you it’s not all that you prop it up to be. As for Sierra Vista, it really has grown up since we first moved to Tombstone in 1969. Of course, what hasn’t?
Ummm... most of the things in this video are not in Sierra Vista...... Tombstone, Sonoita, Ft. Huachuca, Karchner Caverns. Video would have been better titled 10 reasons to visit Cochise County.
Spent five months here while in AIT at Fort Huachuca 10 years ago. Probably the best five months of my military career. Great video! I enjoy watching it for the nostalgia. Hope to visit Sierra Vista again someday.
To be honest, Sierra Vista will always be a great place for me. My happiest memories are there and it is funny seeing this video because no one really knows what Sierra Vista is? The only thing they could know it for is the base, and the other sites near it, Bisbee and Tombstone. Sierra Vista has history, and has good and bad memories but something to make it memorable. I'm glad this video is making it's way around so people can actually see where us small town people come from.
You certainly hit most of the highlights of Sierra Vista, although I would add that there is also a world class symphony orchestra right here in Sierra Vista. Three organized concerts each year but numerous ongoing ad hoc music events all over Cochise County, including two excellent concerts just for fifth graders!! Wonderful music and an outstanding secret!!
You forgot to mention what use to be the red light district, which is probably the most memorable place in all of Sierra vista, "FRY TOWN". You can go fast there, just don't get stuck😉👍
I was born there, now live in Maryland. Never really looked into it but it’s very cool. Didn’t expect a video like this. Quite awesome to say the least, cheers!
I was surprised to Our Lady of the Sierras on the list. It burned down in the early 2010s during the Huachuca fires. I'm glad to see they're rebuilt and up and running. As a former resident of SV this makes me miss it. Especially the scene where you biked through my old neighborhood. But don't just stop at SV and Tombstone, visit Bisbee, an old hippie mining town. And if you have an hour, visit Douglas, or Nogales AZ/Mexico. Go hiking, fishing and camping at one of our many locations, my personal favorites were Ramsey Canyon and the San Pedro. The stars were always beautiful, and take full advantage of the lightning shows during Monsoon season, it's like Thor orchestrating an opera of nature for you. That is all. I'm currently looking at houses to move back. Thankss
Amazing! I've been in caverns and abandoned gold mines in Virginia and North Carolina so the caves peaked my interest in visiting this area, and the food is a big plus! Thanks for sharing!
I live in Sierra vista and iv been to all of these places let me tell you it's worth your time and our skie are to die for it just an amazing place to live
I’m visiting this area for 4 months starting dec 2021. Friends just moved there. I’m going to get dental work done in Mexico while I’m there. I’m trying to out how to find a good Mexican dentist but I’m sure the locals will know of one while I’m there
I've lived all over Arizona , including S.V., and can say that the stereotypical view of that state as all desert is totally wrong.. AZ is very, very diverse with massive forests and mountains in the north and everything in between down to S.V.
it's awesome to finally see a video about my town! thank you for showing people what amazing sites we have here! I hope you enjoyed it very much! and got some amazing pictures!
@@gweger6425 Its simple. This is a outdoors/retirement town, also decent for raising a family. If you are young and trying to have fun this is the last place you want to be stationed. Now that they have to deal with covid restrictions its 10 times worse.
@@marcellowheeler88thank you for your response. I think his video showcased several fun things to do in the area. What is missing that you would consider fun? Nightlife? Is there no place to go listen to good live music? Please be more specific.
Thanks for making this video! I recently moved back to NJ after living almost 20 years in Tucson. I never knew about the Ramsey Canyon Preserve. Hopefully you'll be posting a few more videos while you're in AZ. I'll keep an eye out for my old stomping grounds :)
@@HereBeBarr Your videos have been really helpful in getting me re-acclimated to the NYC area. Have you found any places that have AZ style (Sonoran) or New Mexico style Mexican in the NYC area?
JJ.......It's about 10 degrees cooler even in the summer so you may want to get away from the heavier heat of the mid to northern parts of AZ. The elevation is closer to 4,000 plus ft so there's that too........ and if you visit the mountains above Ft Huachucha that line the border it will be even cooler there.

I have pet goats. Would it be conducive to have them there? It doesn't really look like it.
Wow! Great video blog again. Too bad you didn’t get to also visit nearby Bisbee. Everyone should see it once!
I lived here for almost 3 years, fantastic place to live.
I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and I just realized you had this one. I live here! It’s a lovely place and I’m so happy someone did it justice in a video. Thank you for visiting!

Thanks my friends :)
Been here since 2003 which wad my husband's last duty station after 30 years. We travel extensively now, but it's always great to come home.
Very nice job Jon, the production value on this one was excellent. Happy New Year to you and Adriana.
Thanks Dan !! Feliz Ano Nuevo tambien !
Another reason is its proximity to Bisbee which is a very fun town.
I used to live on the fort back in 2012. It was alright but nothing to do at all. Very VERY interesting history for sure though!
I lived there for about a year and a half, and I do miss it. One of the best things about living there is the people. We made some wonderful friends and have never felt more comfortable and welcomed.
I lived there in the mid 90’s and the people were horrible! Very unfriendly!
Thank you for saying that first hand.
I was reading the 186 reviews on Niche and that was the thing I read the most. Friendly people for the most.
That’s what I read about Bisbee. That the town is very clique and gossipy. I grew up in Milwaukee and I now live in a small clique town and the people suck. I like small towns I just don’t like shitty people.
I've loved in Sierra Vista, AZ my whole life. It's pretty great. Nature is probably the biggest attraction.
Excellent video!!! I grew up in Sierra Vista. Super happy to see a travel video on it. I think you captured the city surrounding areas pretty well. Thank you! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
It is safe to live there?
@@kikacali7643 as safe as any other small city. May have changed since I’ve moved back in 2012, but can’t imagine it being unsafe
Born and raised!
Great video! I grew up in Ramsay Canyon. My grandparents, Carrol & Joan Peabody, used to own it before donating the property to The Nature Conservancy.

You’d love it !!
I promise you it is not that fun as it seems I know I live there but it is very peaceful lovely community
@@honeydancy7399 probably don't want it to be discovered! Every place is boring unless your in the city

Hey, great video, I actually live in Sierra Vista and I agree with most of what you said, keep it up!
is there a lot of outdoors stuff to do?

Thanks :) Happy New Years !!
My sister lives there. I’ve been there 3 times since 2007. It’s a really cool place that has plenty hidden gems.
I was stationed at Ft; Huachuca 74-76 and I miss the area. I hope to get back there someday.
I can't love this video enough!! My husband was stationed at Ft Huachuca years ago so we have always loved Sierra Vista!
wow i'm here now and my NY tour guide pops up with a tour of Sierra Vista! Ima go check out downtown!
There is a place you missed in the mountains of Carr canyon, the road takes you up to the waterfall, plus there are also hidden ruins in the mountains, they are impossible to see from the sky but if you are able to find a flat field of wheat, head south and you will be able to find them
Brother, I'm here now, where would these ruins be?
I love Hereford; the wild horse area is my favorite! Every time I visit, I enjoy hiking and going to Fort Huachuca for some bowling time. It is a great area. Someday I will build my dream house there!❤
Seems like a great place! Well done video
Thank you for the delightful coverage of the High Points of Sierra Vista. I have visited there a few times and experienced half of the Reasons that you covered. I will be moving to SV in July and plan to take in the remainder of the attractions plus hike the abundance of trails. Cheers.
I think this should have been entitled "Sierra Vista's Surrounding Area". Not telling me too much about the city itself.
Wow! How beautiful! The scenery is so magical. You can tell that by just being there brings inner peace. Thank you for such a beautiful vlog. Everyone who can should experience such a special part of our country. The emptiness around you in this picture...
Happy New Years :) I agree it really is special.
Happy New Year!! I hope 2019 is a great one for all of us.
Great representation of our area, but missing Bisbee is a major flaw. I think you really would have enjoyed it.
Thanks, I'm sure we would have also. It was so hard to narrow down this list !!
Wouldn't expect sushi there! the tacos look yummy. we've been to Kartchner Caverns!!
Yep saw your video :) The sushi was sooo good :)
You forgot about the waterfall during the rainy season.
my aunt works in fort huachuca and my grandma lives in sierra vista!! ❤️
I am so amazed, this top 10 things to do is soo amazing, wow Arizona is so amazing. Will you be going to Flagstaff, Sedona? Muy Bueno Amigo.
Both of those are on my to do list for later this year.. I've heard such good things !!

:) Yes completely.
lived there from 1979 to 1992 went to Peblo del sol, Village Medows, SVMS and Buena HS. in 1992 I left and never looked back. I will never go back.
Because??

Great Vid - I stumbled upon this and loved it - I grew up in Sierra Vista (40 years ago) and was great to see what it is like now
It was awesome in the 80’s, 90’s. now its way too close to the AZ-MX border
Wait, we have both the Original London Bridge and the Berlin Wall in Arizona? Why is this place so amazing lol
Lovely area. I can’t wait to come see it

@@HereBeBarr I was born there :) Sierra vista
My friend Susan's grandfather owned the kartcher caverns land
I was surprised to Our Lady of the Sierras on the list. It burned down in the early 2010s during the Huachuca fires. I'm glad to see they're rebuilt and up and running. As a former resident of SV this makes me miss it. Especially the scene where you biked through my old neighborhood. But don't just stop at SV and Tombstone, visit Bisbee, an old hippie mining town. And if you have an hour, visit Douglas, or Nogales AZ/Mexico. Go hiking, fishing and camping at one of our many locations, my personal favorites were Ramsey Canyon and the San Pedro. The stars were always beautiful, and take full advantage of the lightning shows during Monsoon season, it's like Thor orchestrating an opera of nature for you.

Drove through on a recent road trip. Lovely place. I’m going back in a few months and looking forward to exploring the area.

I've lived all over Arizona , including S.V., and can say that the stereotypical view of that state as all desert is totally wrong.. AZ is very, very diverse with massive forests and mountains in the north and everything in between down to S.V.
I'm disappointed that Parker Canyon Lake was not included.
Do you know carr canyon, I also live here btw
This is so cool I live I serria vista and mort of this I didn’t know
Same
it's awesome to finally see a video about my town! thank you for showing people what amazing sites we have here! I hope you enjoyed it very much! and got some amazing pictures!
Can't believe you didn't get to Bisbee! (Tombstone is very much a tourist destination, but Bisbee is more off-the-wall and interesting.)
Been to Tombstone, Ramsey Canyon, and Carr Canyon. Fort Huachuca restricted due to Covid19.
I lived in Sierra Vista in 1993
I have bee here. My step dad had full access. I was on the he roof.
I live here
I’ve here I’m actually walking distance from the worlds first McDonald’s drive thru with was for army to get a quick bite
Great Video! Will definitely put Sierra Vista on my list!
Thanks :)
I like your videos.
Nice video! Did you and Team Adriana get to visit Bisbee, AZ on this trip? Nice little mining town
No !! Next time I hope .
Best kept secret my ass lol. I was stationed here at ft Huachuca and this was the most boring place on the face of this planet 😂😂
I really wish people would be more specific why.
@@gweger6425 Its simple. This is a outdoors/retirement town, also decent for raising a family. If you are young and trying to have fun this is the last place you want to be stationed. Now that they have to deal with covid restrictions its 10 times worse.
@@marcellowheeler88thank you for your response. I think his video showcased several fun things to do in the area. What is missing that you would consider fun? Nightlife? Is there no place to go listen to good live music? Please be more specific.
@@gweger6425 If you are an outdoors person this place is perfect but yes there is no nightlife here at all.
Thanks, I have a 10 yrs old, do u think there something for kiddos
Excellent job on this video. I'm newly stationed here at the base, and you've given me 10 more reasons to love it even more!
I figured some military would find it ! Thanks for your service and eat some tacos 🌮 for me .
Thanks for making this video! I recently moved back to NJ after living almost 20 years in Tucson. I never knew about the Ramsey Canyon Preserve. Hopefully you'll be posting a few more videos while you're in AZ. I'll keep an eye out for my old stomping grounds :)
This is the last Arizona video, but I had a fun time :)
@@HereBeBarr Your videos have been really helpful in getting me re-acclimated to the NYC area. Have you found any places that have AZ style (Sonoran) or New Mexico style Mexican in the NYC area?
The struggle is real :( that style nope .. los tacos no . 1 in midtown or watch my Mexican food in Jackson heights queen video for ideas
Lived in AZ all my life and still haven't been south of Tucson. Need to make a weekend trip soon especially before Summer!
JJ.......It's about 10 degrees cooler even in the summer so you may want to get away from the heavier heat of the mid to northern parts of AZ. The elevation is closer to 4,000 plus ft so there's that too........ and if you visit the mountains above Ft Huachucha that line the border it will be even cooler there.
I love going to tombstone it gives me that vibe
He made it sound a lot better than it is who else lives here?
Who cares. Be grateful its not a tourist trap like where I live.
I look ive her lol thx for the stuff to do
