Chiricahua National Monument is truly one of the National Park Service secret treasures. If you are willing to drive the 37 miles off I-10, you will be surprised to discover a mountain wonderland of trees, wild animals, and the amazing balanced rock and pinnacles that make this place so unique.
See the trail guide for more hiking information. The Hike Arizona website also has detailed trail information. Recreational vehicles and trailers longer than 29 feet are not permitted on the scenic drive beyond the visitor center. Click here for more information. This policy does not apply to commercial vehicles; tour busses or school busses.
There are no cabins or other lodging facilities at Chiricahua. Willcox is the closest community, 37 miles from the park, that has a variety of motels. There are a few local bed and breakfast places. Check the Area Lodging brochure for your options.
