U.S. Department of Interior, National Park Service Review

I was last here in November 2018 and am thrilled. Unfortunately, it was untypically very cold. The "Ranger" was extremely helpful in finding the next campground.

The National Monument was very interesting. Lower grade to the center. I went in on a Saturday and after a 1:20 hr ride walk into the center. The only two ladies behind the counter were busy listening to an older lady small talk and left me standing there for many m8nutes. I finally gave up and left.

Some people forget who pays the bills and their salaries at Ntnl Parks, they should have the highest customer service standards and unfortunately it seems they have entitlement instead.

Absolutely beautiful. A must see if you are in the area.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Bathrooms were very clean. We got some directions and picked up some memorabilia. Stop here before exploring the park!

It was snowing when we visited, but the trails were still accessible, which made our experience something different but still beautiful.
This monument rather should be a national park. What great views and historical scenes it offers!

Very clean. Nice service and a nice little gift shop.

What I could see if the monument was stunning. Due to the shutdown the visitor center and road into the park was closed.

This was a place I was not expecting to be anywhere near as inspiring and impressive as it was. It is a long ways from anywhere, but so well worth visiting. You are not expecting this kind of mountain scenery in southeastern Arizona. It is gorgeous, cool, and green. The rock formations are incredible. So well worth visiting.

Friendly and helpful staff. They will even take you up to the top of the mountain so all you have to do is walk down.

Gorgeous. Amazing rock formations. Nice trails. Beautiful place to visit.

Clean bathroom, beautiful park/Monument, nicely maintained.

This 5 star rating is for the landscape, not just the visitor's center.

Beautiful place! So glad these places are protected so people can visit and enjoy! Friendly an helpful ranger at visitor center and gift shop. Off the beaten path, but worth the effort.

Outstanding and breathtaking. A little off the beaten track but well worth the visit to see such a spectacular natural exhibit. Open during covid. Restrooms. Opearating water fountains. Picnic tables available by visitors center. Oh, and if you go, do yourself a favor and drive all the way to the end.

Amazing natural beauty. A must see even if it is a bit off the beaten path.

Loved the ride the company and the view what a nice place to visit if your short on time and want a beautiful place to have a picnic or just want to see a beautiful site I highly recommend the Chiricahua's.

A fantastic place to go and get away from it all. We had the opportunity of having three nights in the campground, make sure you're under 29 ft as that's the maximum that they will permit. We took 2 days to hike around the park amazing views and very relaxing and quiet nights.

A beautiful setting and understandably a suitable of the ranch established there in the 1880s by the Eriksons, Faraway Ranch.

Off the main track by a great place to trek.

:( May be one of the ranger inside the visitor center having a bad day, not willing to explain where to hike, where to see. Luckily I m a National Park Explorer, able to find all the great beautiful spots. Visited all 50 States, explorer more the 52/61 US National Parks

Beautiful place to visit. There are camp grounds, hiking trails, places for horse trailer parking, road side pull outs. Visitor center is closed at this time.

Wonderful unique environment and experience. Beautiful!

Well worth a visit. Go to the Visitor Center, learn about cacti and wildlife and then hike the trails in the saguaro forest.

This place is awesome. I would highly recommend this to anyone. It's beautiful, epic landscapes, and the staff working is some of the friendliest I have ever come across. I saw plenty of wildlife. If you are a birdwatcher, this place is amazing. I saw turkey, tons of deer, even a coatimundi. Oh and squirrels too. This place is beautiful, very little people and the campground has some of the nicest sites I have seen. I will definitely be back.

Second time here. This park feels like a holy place. Walk slow and soak up the vibe. Met the nicest people here.

Such an amazing place. Everyone needs to go. It's like being on another planet.

Nice park. I was not able to spend enough time exploring the park, so I will go back again.

Try echo canyon loop trail. 3.3 mi trail with two kids was wonderful experience.

Took two nice hikes, and saw two or three groups of coatimundi.

I'm from California and I love to Camp with my babies this place is so Amazing I really recommend it .. I've naurtre

Small store but had lots of fun items. Informative store clerk and ranger.

My parents visiting over Thanksgiving week checked online said open , not so

We had fun looking at all the unique items in the shop, reviewing the informational displays, and talking to other people enjoying this wonderful place! Aaron gifted Dan with some Cactus Sweets!

Such beautiful scenery. The ranger was very helpful. She gave us good information when we started out and answered our many questions when we stopped back at the Visitor Station on our way out. But go for the spectacular rock formations.

What an awesome place to spend a day. The rock formations were terrific. A great gem of a federal monument. Echo Canyon, 3.6 mile walk was the best.

First of all, if you're not enjoying the natural wonders, go see them! Second, Chiricahua was one of those places I saw a photo of and was instantly drawn to! I built an entire solo road trip around visiting this place!

But I digress. Let's talk Chiricahua. It's free. There is a long desert highway and cool wind (depending on season), and picturesque views as you drive to get there. And it's free to enter. Did I mention that?

The visitor center has clean flushing restrooms, the rangers are super nice and friendly, and the gift shop isn't ridiculously overpriced.

We drove the scenic drive, hoofed it around Massai point, made a few roadside stops to take in the views, all before the sun went down. I'll definitely be back to stay at the campground and do a few days of hiking for more sights!

Unbelievable natural beauty. Take extra water and wear proper footwear for hiking.

Very interesting geo formation. Lots of frontier history. Well maintained facility and walking trails. No big rig access or camping.

Bring a jacket if it's not summer but what an amazing place. Definitely worth the drive to get there.

Beautiful. Store adequate. Friendly staff, helpful. Facilities adequate.

There are places we visit that are always going to stay in our hearts, and this is one of those.

Love the Chiricahua mountains! Every time I go I see something new. The rangers are awesome. Very nice and helpful. I recommend the tour of the far away ranch. It's a great get away and a great way to enjoy the outdoors and learn about the past.

This place is otherworldly. I have been to many national parks and monuments but this is definitely one of my favorites. If you go in at Sunset, the hoodoos in the canyon practically glow. It is really almost spiritual and magical. I highly recommend driving to the end and going to the point for sunset. You won't regret it.

Such a cool National Monument to explore. The rocks are absolutely amazing. I must stop!

The rangers were very helpful. They also have flush toilets and a book store. They are not currently showing the video because of covid-19.

Nice hiking path with plenty of lush nature and picture locations. Downside the road was closed so the only way up was to hike.

Loved this National monument. Really a step above and should be a National Park.

Nice cave. Somewhat difficult hike to get there. Only wish people had not ruined the natural cave

Easily a tip 5 place to go to for AZ wilderness. A prehistoric volcanic cauldron? There are like 3 awesome words in that sentence.

We got a late start but got these amazing pix on our way up to the top.

Very unique rocks. We hiked up Sugarloaf Mountain Trail, only 1.8 mile round trip. The views were great!

Very pretty and a bit off the beaten path. Worth the trip to see. Hike if you are able. Probably spring and fall would be best.

The rising cost is not worth the stay at campground.

Beautiful...Peaceful..Historical
Grandson First visit...impressive!!!
ThankYou!!

Our Last visit was during some rain storms....
Cool to see little water falls down those stone walls...
Deer drinking from running stream

Gorgeous view. Have to watch for falling rocks and critters. And there is no cell signal.

Great park with amazing views anywhere you go! We are definitely coming back soon to do more trails! The ranger in the visitor center was extremely helpful on which trails to do with our time constraint. Made for a wonderful day trip!

Beautiful! Rode up on my Harley from Tucson.They must have been moving dirt. It's on the rode, watch the turns. Be safe, slow going. Don't push it. You'll get there. Enjoy!

This park was surprisingly good. The rock formations are unique and special. We did the echo canyon hike and experienced a wide range of conditions, hot dry to inside narrow draws to trees to near ponds ending in the open space of echo fame. Then climbed mountain and enjoyed wide vista's. Hikes were not that strenuous and doable by family.

Fabulous place to drive through. I didn't have time to take any of the hikes except the short one at the end of the road. It's a bit off the beaten path but worth the drive.
