Chiricahua

It's taken me awhile to figure it out, but it's pronounced cheer-i-cow-ah, which to me sounds like the creature Chupacabra.  Anyhow, today we went to Chiricahua National Monument.  The park is full of columns and pillars and balanced rocks.  Many of them have names like Sea Captain and Organ Pipe Formation.  There's a scenic drive along with several excellent hikes.  We took one to the bottom of Echo Canyon.




By the way, I need to remember to check the battery on my camera before I leave for a place like this.  It took about an hour to get to the highest point in the park with a stunning view.  I took a few pictures and then the camera showed low battery.  Oops!
