A Wonderland of Rocks
In April 2023, me and my family went to Chiricahua NM. We went to the visitor center to look around and get my stamps. We drove up the hill to see the scenery around the park. We stopped at some different locations along the road.
At the top of the hill we stopped here.
We walked up the Massai Nature Trail that is paved. This is what we saw along the way.
Do you see the Cochise Head in the mountains? He is lying down. You can see the face: Nose, Mouth, Forehead.
Do you see the Harris Mountain that is right in the middle of the canyon? It’s like you see a shadow. This mountain was named after pioneer family who died at the hands of the Apaches in 1873. The Harris family was part of westward-bound wagon train.
Cochise Stronghold is the mountain of the rocks.
This is a beautiful park to visit.
