Chiricahua Mountains Travel Information
The 10,000 foot Chiricahua Mountains in the southeastern corner of
Arizona provide a welcome respite from the surrounding desert. These
mountains are the ancestral land of the Chiricahua Apache, who ended
up at the San Carlos Reservation north of the range. The Chiricahua
Mountains are home to dozens of different animal species and a stop
over point for an endless list of birds. The range is a favorite for
bird and wildlife watchers. The mountains, and the Chiricahua National
Monument which lies within the range, offer miles of trails for hiking
and mountain biking and numerous campgrounds. A scenic drive shows off
acres of interesting rock formations. The Chiricahua Mountains are
located south of Interstate 10 and north of Douglas. View Area Map.
