The Chiricahua Mountain and ensuing rock formations are
the result of an ancient volcanic eruption. The blast is responsible
for Chiricua’s strange “monuments” and monoliths,
making it a popular haven for Arizona hikers, geologists, and historians.
The ensuing national park and protected area now stretches to around
12,000 acres, assuring the site will remain undeveloped and awe inspiring
for generations to come.
The land surrounding Chiricahua Mountain is full of diverse wildlife,
so don’t be surprised if you come across a wide array of native
birds and various critters scurrying for shade. Amazing spires and monoliths
climb skyward as a result of slow erosion, and continue to be a point
of curiosity for Arizona adventurers.
