Hiking to Inspiration Point at Chiricahua National Monument (#7/419)

Named after the band of Native American Indians, Chiricahua National Monument in southeastern Arizona may not have made your shortlist of must-visit National Park Units. But after spending several days exploring it in December, we think this is a hidden gem of the National Park System.

In this video, we take the hiker's shuttle to Echo Canyon and then hike back down to the Visitor Center. The Big Loop hike consisted of the following trails: Echo Canyon Trail, Hailstone Trail, Mushroom Rock Trail, Inspiration Point, Big Balanced Rock Trail, Heart of Rocks Loop, Sarah Demming Trail, Lower Rhyolite Canyon Trail.
In total it was 9.88 miles (15.9km) with 1286 ft (392 meters) of elevation gain.

We stayed at the Bonita Canyon Campground inside the Chiricahua National Monument.

We also find our first Inspiratoin Point on this journey and decide to count them all.
