Graham County is home of the Salsa Trail which connects a dozen terrific Mexican food restaurants, a tortilla factory, and a chile farm. In a world where change seems constant, the constant on the Salsa Trail is good food and consistency of service that spans decades. Chances are that the person who greets you, the waitress who serves your food, and the cook who prepares the traditional Mexican recipes, have been on the job for 10, 15, 20 years or more. In addition to good food and friendly folks, tourists are beginning to discover the natural beauty and tucked away attractions that dot the map along the Salsa Trail.
