The Best Attractions In McNeal

1. Whitewater Draw Wildlife Area Mcneal
2. Kartchner Caverns State Park Benson
Kartchner Caverns State Park is a state park of Arizona, United States, featuring a show cave with 2.4 miles of passages. The park is located 9 miles south of the town of Benson and west of the north-flowing San Pedro River. Long hidden from view, the caverns were discovered in 1974 by local cavers, assisted by a state biologist who helped in its preservation. The park encompasses most of a down-dropped block of Palaeozoic rocks on the east flank of the Whetstone Mountains. The caverns are carved out of limestone and filled with spectacular speleothems which have been growing for 50,000 years or longer, and are still growing. Careful and technical cave state park development and maintenance are designed to preserve the natural cave system.

5. Coronado National Memorial Hereford
Francisco Vázquez de Coronado y Luján was a Spanish conquistador and explorer who led a large expedition from Mexico to present-day Kansas through parts of the southwestern United States between 1540 and 1542. Vázquez de Coronado had hoped to reach the Cities of Cíbola, often referred to now as the mythical Seven Cities of Gold, which is a term not invented until American gold-rush days in the 1800s. His expedition marked the first European sightings of the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River, among other landmarks. His name is often Anglicized as Vasquez de Coronado.

6. Fort Bowie National Historic Site Willcox
Fort Bowie was a 19th-century outpost of the United States Army located in southeastern Arizona near the present day town of Willcox, Arizona. The remaining buildings and site are now protected as Fort Bowie National Historic Site. Fort Bowie was established by the California Volunteers in 1862 after a series of engagements between the California Column and the Chiricahua Apaches. The most violent of which was the Battle of Apache Pass in July 1862. The fort was named in honor of Colonel George Washington Bowie commander of the 5th Regiment California Volunteer Infantry who first established the fort. The first Fort Bowie resembled a temporary camp rather than a permanent army post. In 1868, a second, more substantial Fort Bowie was built which included adobe barracks, houses, corrals, a t...

7. Colossal Cave Mountain Park Vail Arizona
Colossal Cave is a large cave system in southeastern Arizona, United States, near the community of Vail, about 22 miles southeast of Tucson. It contains about 3.5 miles of mapped passageways, and was discovered by Soloman Lick in 1879. Temperatures inside average 70 °F year-round.The cave is an ancient karst cave, classified as dry by guides . The meaning of this is that its formations are completely dry, or dead, and do not grow. This is because the cave was formed by water depositing limestone, but this source has disappeared. It instead feeds the active nearby Arkenstone Cave that continues to grow formations. Colossal Cave was used from 900 to 1450 AD by the Hohokam, Sobaipuri, and Apache Indians. The cave was rediscovered in 1879 by Solomon Lick, the owner of the nearby Mountain Spri...

Wonderland of Rocks | Chiricahua National Monument in Arizona

Known as the “Wonderland of Rocks,” Arizona's Chiricahua National Monument offers wonderful driving and hiking opportunities. If you enjoy our travel video, we would appreciate a thumbs-up, SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT, and/or SHARE. Thank you for watching and happy travels to you!

ABOUT:

Known as the “Wonderland of Rocks,” Chiricahua National Monument offers wonderful hiking opportunities and a wonderful 8 mile drive. One of my favorite all time hikes, it is not your typical sky island hike. Not by a long shot. This small section of the Chiricahuas is notable for its abundance of hoodoos. These natural wonders were formed by a volcano some 27 million years ago when eruptions melted together ash particles into layers of grey rock called rhyolite. Over the years, movement, cracking, weathering and erosion worked up cracks, which let the weaker material wash away and leave us the gifts of the Monument...the hoodoos. An added bonus is the Faraway Ranch located within the park.That’s just a small part of the adventure and beauty you’ll find here!
