It lies {{convert|25|mi|km}} south-southeast of San Simon and at the mouth of Cave Creek Canyon on the east side of the Chiricahua Mountains. Often called the Yosemite of Arizona, the rock walled canyon is composed of fused volcanic tuff.[2][3] The community is a popular location for birding in southeastern Arizona. It is also home to the American Museum of Natural History's Southwest Research Station.[4][5] The ranch of Sally and Walter R. Spofford was a popular birdwatching destination.[6] Other notable residents include the writer Nancy Farmer and her husband. [7] The Arizona Sky Village astronomy community is located in Portal, because the skies in the area are free of light pollution and therefore extremely dark.[8] ClimateTypical of upland Arizona, Portal has a semi-arid climate (Köppen BSk) with warm to hot days followed generally by quite cool nights. Frequent frosts in winter give way to mild days, whilst most rain comes from summer thunderstorms. {{Weather box |location = Portal, Arizona |single line = Y |Jan record high F = 77 |Feb record high F = 76 |Mar record high F = 85 |Apr record high F = 92 |May record high F = 99 |Jun record high F = 102 |Jul record high F = 102 |Aug record high F = 99 |Sep record high F = 101 |Oct record high F = 91 |Nov record high F = 86 |Dec record high F = 74 |year record high F = 102 |Jan high F = 55.0 |Feb high F = 59.5 |Mar high F = 65.1 |Apr high F = 74.7 |May high F = 81.8 |Jun high F = 90.7 |Jul high F = 89.8 |Aug high F = 87.1 |Sep high F = 85.0 |Oct high F = 75.3 |Nov high F = 64.4 |Dec high F = 56.4 |year high F = 73.7 |Jan low F = 27.4 |Feb low F = 29.3 |Mar low F = 33.3 |Apr low F = 41.8 |May low F = 45.8 |Jun low F = 55.1 |Jul low F = 60.4 |Aug low F = 58.7 |Sep low F = 54.5 |Oct low F = 43.9 |Nov low F = 33.3 |Dec low F = 27.8 |year low F = 42.6 |Jan record low F = −4 |Feb record low F = −1 |Mar record low F = 12 |Apr record low F = 18 |May record low F = 26 |Jun record low F = 33 |Jul record low F = 40 |Aug record low F = 42 |Sep record low F = 31 |Oct record low F = 23 |Nov record low F = 5 |Dec record low F = 8 |year record low F = −4 |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation inch = 1.06 |Feb precipitation inch = 1.14 |Mar precipitation inch = 0.88 |Apr precipitation inch = 0.60 |May precipitation inch = 0.33 |Jun precipitation inch = 0.64 |Jul precipitation inch = 3.37 |Aug precipitation inch = 3.66 |Sep precipitation inch = 2.05 |Oct precipitation inch = 1.08 |Nov precipitation inch = 1.15 |Dec precipitation inch = 1.41 |Jan precipitation days = 4 |Feb precipitation days = 4 |Mar precipitation days = 4 |Apr precipitation days = 3 |May precipitation days = 2 |Jun precipitation days = 3 |Jul precipitation days = 10 |Aug precipitation days = 10 |Sep precipitation days = 6 |Oct precipitation days = 4 |Nov precipitation days = 3 |Dec precipitation days = 4 |unit precipitation days = 0.01 inch |Jan snow inch = 3.4 |Feb snow inch = 1.4 |Mar snow inch = 0.6 |Apr snow inch = 0.3 |May snow inch = 0 |Jun snow inch = 0 |Jul snow inch = 0 |Aug snow inch = 0 |Sep snow inch = 0 |Oct snow inch = 0.3 |Nov snow inch = 1.1 |Dec snow inch = 2.6 |source 1 = [9] |date=October 2011 }} References1. ^{{gnis|9657}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/geology/publications/bul/845/sec21a.htm|title= USGS Geological Survey Bulletin 845|publisher=}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.paysonroundup.com/news/2010/mar/26/towers_stone_canyons_history/|title=Payson Roundup|publisher=}} 4. ^Southeastern Arizona Bird Observatory {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101127050158/http://sabo.org/birding.htm |date=2010-11-27 }} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://research.amnh.org/swrs/|title=Southwest Research Station|publisher=}} 6. ^{{cite journal |last1=Smith |first1=Charles R. |title=In Memoriam: Sally Hoyt Spofford, 1914–2003 |journal=The Kingbird |date=2003 |volume=53 |issue=2 |page=123 |url=https://nybirds.org/KBsearch/y2003v53n2/y2003v53n2p123.pdf}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.nancyfarmerwebsite.com/blog.html|title=Blog|website=Nancy Farmer's official home page}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.today.com/news/love-stargaze-welcome-sky-village-darkest-town-america-t114884|title=News article|website=Today.com}} 9. ^{{cite web| url = http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?az6706 | title = PORTAL, ARIZONA (026706) | publisher = Western Regional Climate Center}} External links
