Two common trails of the mountain area are the Atascosa Lookout, and the Sycamore Canyon Trail, (for the Arizona sycamore, Platanus wrightii). As part of southeast Arizona, southwest New Mexico, Sonora and northwest Chihuahua's Madrean Sky Islands, mountainous sky island region, birdwatching finds these mountain sites as prime locales for bird species ranging north out of the Sierra Madre Occidental cordillera. (One sought after example is the elegant trogon species.)
