What's Happening at Way Out West?
Our Outdoor Activities Schedule has something of interest for young & old, beginner & pro!!!
You can sit , listen to the waterfall splash, watch the koi and goldfish in one of our two ponds or join one of our activities. Our unique riparian location brings wildlife from the mountains and surrounding deserts, immersing you in nature. Take it all in on your own, participate in an 'on-site' activity or venture into the hills for a 'Naturalist's Tour'.
Join us for our weekly 'Butterfly Walks' …
With our proximity to Mexico and a sub-tropical environment, Arizona has hundreds of native butterflies. Sixty-two species of butterflies have been sighted from our location. Times/fees/information can be had by calling 520.907.8735
'Birders' love our place! Our weekly 'Bird Walks' and 'Big Sits' (hang out in one spot, nice beverage in hand, identify beautiful birds…) have revealed over 135 species frequenting our property. Our unique and varied habitat brings in a lot of elusive and reclusive birds. Our House Life List shows the varied and amazing species that have been seen from our location. BIG NOTE: Our house list DOES NOT include any species NOT ACTUALLY SEEN FROM THE GROUNDS. The surrounding hills, canyons and mountains support numerous species not listed here.
We are doing a weekly Butterfly Walk/Census.
