We both can’t hike but we’ve passed by the sign on the 10 freeway many times and decided to go check it out. It’s still a nice scenic drive through out the park. Lots of crazy looking rock formations…Full review by tonyk744

We actually made this a day trip from the Phoenix area. Got up early and just hiked one day in the park. Back in Phoenix in time for a late dinner out. Four hours to Chiricahua, took a four hour hike, then drove four hours back. Not ideal, but we were in Phoenix for four days and this was the best we could do.

There are no scary drop offs like you find in Colorado on some of those high-elevation roads. The road is only 6 to 9 miles long, it is paved and two lanes. There are spacious parking lots at to Lookout areas. I would encourage you to go because it's not like driving on the side of a mountain when you have switchbacks. Enjoy the Rocks they are like none you've ever seen.
