Cochise County Travel Guide

Arizona

The Amerind Museum in Southeast Arizona is a great place to learn about Native American culture and history. Exhibits range from excavations of Paquime in Mexico to more modern stories about the importance of running in Native culture. #arizona
The view looking down on Old Bisbee. This is the hike to the famous Shrine on the hill. There is a long history about the Shrine and how it was built and dedicated to a family member who was terminally ill. Since then there are a few other shrines that have been built for all religions. This is a fairly easy hike(45-60mins), but be sure to have water as the elements can get you in AZ even during this time of year. The rocks can also be loose so have good hiking shoes.
The impressive rock formations loom large on any of the loops at this park. #Takeahike
The Organ Pipe formation. Really glad we visited this National Monument. It was definitely worth the drive from Tucson
Second stop on the #roadtrip, #Chiricahua #NationalMonument. I did not expect to find such extraordinary sights. We got to the park at night, when we woke up I was in awe. So #beautiful. By far the most noticeable natural features in the monument are the rock pinnacles for which the monument was created to protect. Rising sometimes hundreds of feet into the air, many of these pinnacles are balancing on a small base, seemingly ready to topple over at any time. The Civilian Conservation Corps, during their occupation here in the 1930s, named many of the rock formations that can be seen today.
