About this listen
Chiricahua National Monument is one of Arizona’s most surreal and underrated destinations. Often called the “Wonderland of Rocks,” this national monument features towering stone spires, gravity-defying balanced rocks, and winding trails that feel like walking through a natural sculpture garden.
In this episode of Two Chicks With Hiking Sticks, we take you deep into southeastern Arizona to explore:
- The ancient volcanic eruption that created Chiricahua’s iconic rock formations
- Why the monument’s hoodoos and spires look almost otherworldly
- The cultural history of the Chiricahua Apache and the land’s deeper meaning
- What to know before you go, from elevation and weather to trail difficulty
Chiricahua isn’t just a place to hike—it’s a place to slow down, look closer, and understand how geology, history, and time shape the landscapes we protect today.
Whether you’re planning your first visit or discovering this hidden gem from home, this episode will explain why Chiricahua National Monument is one of the Southwest’s most unforgettable places.
