Reviews of Chiricahua National Monument
"The Grand Canyon of southeastern Arizona. Great hikes, great views. The campground is full unless you advance. Turn right just before entering the entrance, drive a bit and enjoy cattle country and more solitude in some open camping areas. No RVs. Quiet and peace. Drive back to the entry and enjoy the marvels of nature. My favorite place in AZ."
"Beautiful place, amazing views of the rock formations from the bottom of the canyon and breathtaking views from the top of the mountain. I could stay here for hours and stare at different shapes of the rock. The Massai point 6870 ft is truly spectacular. A couple of hiking trails from the top and a couple of picnic tables. There are pit toilets at the trailheads. The place is dog friendly but you can take your dog for walk only on Bonita Creek trail ."
"Absolutely amazing landscape! It’s worth going out of your way to see. Go to Massai Point to get a view from the top, overlooking the scale of this place. The echo canyon trail provides a nice loop that lets you walk through the monument and see it from the top, the bottom, and right in the middle."
"Simply spectacular ! If you are anywhere in Southern AZ do yourself a favor and visit this place . The majesty of the formations and the views are rivaled only by those of the grand canyon . Google reviews lead us to this journey and it worked out perfect so please follow along specially if you are concerned about tackling a trail . My wife and I are in our 50s and we decided to do the Echo Canyon trail down to the Grotto and back . I have to say that it was easier than expected and there were even folks in their 69s and 70s doing this stretch of the trail . It took us about an hour round trip . Make sure and bring water , a camera , and walking sticks if you have balance issues . my wife had a broken ankle a few years ago and she still takes it easy but I bought her a pair of hiking sticks at Costco for $30 and she raved about how easy it was to walk the trails with them . Truly , the pictures don’t do this place justice . There is only one road in and out so no guessing where to go as it is all well laid out and there are signs to guide you along as well . Do not attempt to bring a large RV or travel trailer as the hairpins are tight and the parking is limited . Finally , there are no services out here . No where to buy food , water , or fuel so come prepared . After our hike we drove up to Massai point and parked . When we looked over the edge there was a look out area that was a very short walk down but again , just an amazing view to experience. There is a lot more that we didn’t do but this was enough for us to experience on this day at Chiricahua National Monument."
"This National park was off the beaten path but worth a visit. I hiked the Rhyolite trail to Hearts of Rocks loop and back, 7.2 miles. This trail was a moderate/easy trail with many interesting views of rock formations. On the loop portion, a beautiful view of the valley can be found. And many interesting traverses thru rock pillars. Definitely bring enough water."
