The Chiricahua National Monument spans 11,985 acres of southeast Arizona's Chiricahua Mountains, an inactive volcanic range of uneven peaks rising over 9,000 feet from forest-covered valleys.
Volcanic activity occurring over millions of years gave rise to the monument’s peculiar geological formations.
An 8-mile paved roadway and 17 miles of hiking trails carve through the park for visitors to investigate the area’s caves, faults, and lava flows. The monument is also home to a variety of wildlife, including black bears, whitetail deer and nearly 200 species of birds.
The Visitor Center offers geology, archeology, cultural and natural history exhibits as well as a bookstore for visitors to explore. The park< is open year-round and is a great day trip.
