Overlooked NPS Sites, West .2
Chiricahua National Memorial! This is a spectacular place and, count on it, it will be designated a National Park someday and then you will find it packed. In the meantime, what an amazing, uncrowded and fascinating park. This point of land in Southeast Arizona is where two mountain ranges and two deserts collide creating what is called a “sky island” of the Huachucas mountains. This park is blessed with a temperate to subtropical climate and is one of three centers of megadiversity on our planet. There is a wealth of birds, animals,, plants, and bats. There are caves, peaks over 7,000 feet, dark skies, old ranches, and streams. An absolute wonderland and a park I would go back to again and again.
