Visit Soldiers Hole, Elfrida, Arizona
Soldiers Hole (often called Soldier Holes) is on the WhiteWater Draw in Cochise County and was a favorite watering hole back in the late 1880's for both soldiers, Apaches, ranchers and anyone traveling thru including some famous local outlaws (this was during the prime time of Tombstone). It is located west of Elfrida on Gleeson Road.
Soldiers Hole was a stop on the Butterfield Stage route about 20 miles east of Tombstone and about 25 miles north of the Mexican border. During the Chiricahua Apache Campaign (1861-1886) cavalry troops on maneuvers camped here at a permanent source of water known as Soldiers Hole. When the railroad by-passed Soldiers Hole in 1909, its usefulness came to an end.
