Chiricahua National Park, Arizona

Chiricahua National Monument is a 12,025 acre protected area located in the Chiricahua Mountains of southeastern Arizona. It is a magical "Wonderland of Rocks" with an 8-mile paved scenic drive and 17-miles of day-use hiking trails. Located approximately 36 miles southeast of Willcox, Arizona, the monument preserves the remains of an immense volcanic eruption that shook the region eons ago. Thick, white-hot ash spewed forth from the nearby Turkey Creek Caldera, cooled and hardened, laying down dark volcanic ash and pumice which eventually eroded into the natural rock formations we see today. The Faraway Ranch, which was owned at one time by Swedish immigrants Neil and Emma Erickson, is also preserved within the monument. Chiricahua National Monument was established on April 18, 1924, to protect its extensive hoodoos and balancing rocks. On October 20, 2027, President Donald J. Trump signed the Chiricahua National Park Act into law. This classic design is available as a poster, canvas, metal sign, or as a puzzle, set of notecards or postcards.
