Mission Creek Preserve

Mission Creek Preserve, part of the Wildlands Conservancy group, encompasses over 4,700 acres in the transitional zone between the Sonoran and Mojave deserts. This unique landscape includes not only the expected arid terrain but also a surprising patch of wetlands. The preserve is a haven for diverse wildlife, including deer, bears, and bighorn sheep. Visitors can explore this natural setting, observing the contrast between the dry, sun-baked earth and the lush, water-rich areas, and perhaps catching a glimpse of the local fauna.
