Review:
Chiricahua National Monument is one of the more remote Southeast Arizona parks.
The 11,985-acre site was called “the land of standing up rocks” by the Chiricahua Apaches. The park is famous for its strangely shaped stone rock spires that delight photographers and hikers who pass by.
These rock pinnacles that can be found at the higher regions of the park are the results of a massive volcanic eruption that happened about 25 million years ago. The park also preserves several historically and culturally significant sites.
The most accessible rock formations are located in canyons, especially in Echo Canyon. The park can be explored using the eight-mile long paved scenic drive and 17 miles of hiking trails.
