The Chiricahua Park area was once home to the Chiricahua Apache Indians and their leader, Cochise. The rock formations are dramatic.

The Park Department offers a page on accessibility.

The monument is a mecca for hikers and birders. At the intersection of the Chihuahuan and Sonoran deserts, and the southern Rocky Mountains and northern Sierra Madre in Mexico, Chiricahua plants and animals represent one of the premier areas for biological diversity in the northern hemisphere.
