Murray Bolesta's iconic Elephant Head Mountain Landscape Art, Southern Arizona!

A prominent rock outcropping of the Santa Rita Mountains of southern Arizona in the Santa Cruz River Valley: if you look at it from the side, Elephant Head looks precisely like that, with a long trunk extending straight forward into the valley. 

Hollywood's Arizona Backdrop

Elephant Head served as the dramatic backdrop to the 1940 movie "The Westerner" with Gary Cooper, among many other Western films before development happened.

Santa Cruz Valley Heritage

The Santa Cruz River Valley, stretching from Nogales at the border north toward Tucson, has supported ranching since Spanish colonial times, and farming before that. Mining booms in nearby mountains brought fortune seekers in the 1800s. The high Sky Island ecosystem creates unique biodiversity where desert grasslands meet mountain forests.
