azcentral.com travel Chiricahaus The area around Chiricahua National Monument has a rich history, nearly as quirky as its landscape. They called the Chiricahua Mountains "The Wonderland of Rocks," and it was their daughter and her husband who worked to make the area a National Monument. Dubbed "The Land of the Standing-up Rocks" by the Chiricahua band of the native Apache Indians, the Chiricahua and nearby Dragoon Mountains were their home for centuries. www.azcentral.com /travel/arizona/features/articles/archive/hearthistory.html

Cochise & Geronimo: The Chiricahua Apaches - DesertUSA Cochise and Geronimo: The Chiricahua Apaches - DesertUSA In an incident at a mining camp, Mangas Coloradas, chief of the Mimbreño Chiricahua, was whipped, an act that resulted in his life-long enmity against white men. In 1848, when gold was discovered in California, the Apaches were further threatened by incursions of white fortune-seekers on their way to the gold fields. www.desertusa.com /magfeb98/feb_pap/du_apache.html

The Global Encyclopedia : Hotels : Travel During the 19th century, many new states were added to the original thirteen as the nation expanded across the North American continent and acquired a number of overseas possessions. After long debate, this was supplanted by the Constitution of a more centralized federal government in 1789. Two of the major traumatic experiences in the nation's history were the American Civil War ( 1861 - 65) and the Great Depression of the 1930s. united-states.asinah.net /american-encyclopedia/wikipedia/n/na/nationa...

Arizona - Chiricahua National Monument The Chiricahua National Monument covers a small section of the Chiricahua Mountains in the extreme southeast of Arizona, and contains large expanses of volcanic rocks eroded into dramatic pinnacles and spires, an interesting variety of vegetation and some unusual wildlife species. There is one dirt track (the Pinery Canyon road) across the Chiricahua Mountains, linking the monument with New Mexico to the east but this is closed during the winter and is in bad condition most of the year. One well-preserved fortress from this era is the Cochise Stronghold, in the Dragoon Mountains 40 miles west of the Chiricahua Monument. www.americansouthwest.net /arizona/chiricahua/national_monument.html

Arizona - Canyon de Chelly National Monument Three of these, named the First, Second and Third, lie at the centre of Hopi Indian territory but most of the northeast is Navajo land, including Chinle which is the largest town in the area and the gateway to Canyon de Chelly National Monument. White House Ruins: The Monument is administered as part of the National Park Service but since it lies on Navajo land, admission is free.

Chiricahua National Monument This spectacular Canyon, with its fantastic rock formations, is probably the least known of America's National Parks - yet is one of the most beautiful. As with all of our rides here at Grapevine and in this valley, the view on the descent of the Chiricahua trail is so completely different, you'll think you're riding somewhere else yet again. Riggs petitioned the government to designate it a National Park, protecting the area for future generations. www.arizonaguestranch.com /Activities/chiricahua.html

Chiricahua Natl. Mon. Sugarloaf Mountain (7,310 feet) is the highest peak in the monument, with an excellent panorama of Arizona, New Mexico, and the Chiricahuas, including the eroded remnants of the volcano that was the source of the rock layers; the 1.8-mile roundtrip begins from the Sugarloaf trailhead. Dispersed camping outside the monument is another possibility; you can drive up Pinery Canyon Road 3.8 miles to the Coronado National Forest, then look for a likely spot in the next three miles; no water, facilities, or charge. Monument trails are for day-hikes only, and no permit is needed. www.arizonahandbook.com /chiricah.htm

Chiricahua National Monument Erosion carving along weak vertical and horizontal cracks forming the fascinating rock formations preserved today in Chiricahua National Monument. The Chiricahua Mountains formed also from this rock upheaval, and then the masters of erosion- water, wind and ice- began sculpting the rock into odd formations. They lead to a small natural bridge and a ledge of volcanic hailstones, evidence of ancient eruptions that created the rocks of Chiricahua. volcano.und.nodak.edu /vwdocs/Parks/chiricahua/chiricahua.html

deseretnews.com 3 Utah parks imperiled? Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef national parks and Timpanogos Cave National Monument would suffer if such development occurs in nearby forests, according to a study released Wednesday by the Coalition of Concerned National Park Service Retirees and the Campaign to Protect America's Lands. Peter Altman, director of the Campaign to Protect America's Lands, said, "18 percent of all the roadless areas now stripped of federal protections directly border or are adjacent to a national park, monument or parkway." WASHINGTON — National Park Service retirees say the vistas, solitude and wildlife of three Utah national parks are threatened by a Bush administration proposal to allow roads for mining, timber cuts and oil exploration into "roadless" national forest areas. deseretnews.com /dn/view/0,1249,595080545,00.html
