Stable numbers of Coues deer live in the high parts of three mountain ranges—Sierrita, Cerro Colorado and Las Guijas. Desert mule deer live in the low, rolling foothills and Sonoran desert flats and valleys. Illegal immigrants often travel through this unit, so make sure vehicles and campsites are secure.
