Friends of the San Pedro River: History Walk at Murray Springs Clovis Site

Join docents from the Friends of the San Pedro River for a tour of the Murray Springs mammoth kill site. Vance Haynes led an expedition here in the 1970s that found the remains of megafauna that had been hunted, killed, butchered, and consumed by
the Clovis Paleo-Indians 13,000 years ago.

This is an easy walk of less than a half mile, though it does include dirt steps into and out of a dry wash. There is no shade, and it will be hot on sunny days. Please realistically assess your ability to do this walk. Wear a hat, sun protection, clothing, and sturdy shoes, and bring water and a snack.

From E. Highway 90/AZ-90 in Sierra Vista, drive north on Moson Rd. for 1.28 miles and turn east. Meet the docent at the gate to the site. The entrance to the site is
searchable as “Murray Springs Clovis Site” in Google Maps.

  • Audience: Adult, Kids (6 - 8 years), Tweens (9 - 13 years)
  • Genre: Arts, Culture & Social Science, Field Sciences
