Chiricahua National Monument protects a wonderland of rock formations created by volcanic eruptions 27 million years ago. The monument features towering rock pinnacles, balanced rocks, and stone columns that create a maze-like landscape often called a 'Wonderland of Rocks.' Managed by the National Park Service, the area was once home to the Chiricahua Apache and offers excellent hiking opportunities through its unique geological formations. The monument provides habitat for diverse wildlife and plant species in the Sky Island ecosystem of southeastern Arizona.
