Description

With elevations above nine thousand feet, dense vegetation and distinctive rock formations, the Chiricahua Mountains are a novel natural world refuge and natural botanic reserve. Inhabited by Apaches after which homesteaders, the U.S. Cavalry, miners, outlaws and tourists, this range has retained its allure through time. Apache legend Geronimo surrendered in 1886 to General Nelson Miles in Skeleton Canyon, at the east side of the Chiricahuas within the neighboring Peloncillo Mountains. Johnny Ringo and Curly Bill Brocius led the outlaws within the short-lived the city of Galeyville. Chiricahua National Monument used to be created in 1924, and the Civilian Conservation Corps arrived within the 1930s to build trails, rock structures and fire lookouts. Sign up for writer William Ascarza as he tours the natural and human histories of this magnificent Arizona mountain range.
