Review & FAQ:
Formed by a tremendous volcanic eruption that occurred approximately 27 million years ago, the Chiricahua Mountains are named after the Chiricahua Apache Indians, who used to inhabit the area. The mountains have a vastly different habitat than the surrounding lowlands, and the range is home to some flora and fauna that cannot be found anywhere else. One of the most notable features is the Chiricahua National Monument, which is full of stunning hoodoos and eroded rock spires that reach heights of more than 100 feet. Plenty of campsites can be found all throughout the mountain range, including the convenient Rustler Park.
