The Stage Stop Inn is located in Patagonia, Arizona, one hour southeast of Tucson. Situated in the heart of Arizona’s Mountain Empire, the Stage Stop is a convenient home base while visiting Southeast Arizona. Area attractions include the Patagonia-Sonoita Creek Nature Conservancy, Lake Patagonia, Parker Canyon Lake, wineries in Elgin and Sonoita, and many hiking and biking trails. Patagonia is an Arizona Trail Gateway Community, resting between sections 3 and 4 of the Trail. Old mining ghost towns and working ranches populate the mountains and valleys surrounding Patagonia. Birders come from all over the world in the Spring and Fall to see hundreds of rare species migrating through Patagonia. Hunters and fisherman enjoy the late Fall and winter season, and clear skies, moderate temperatures and amazing scenery attract hikers and bikers year round.
