Monte Vista Peak to the northeast and a number of other minor peaks and foothills provide a scenic backdrop. <h2>Nearby Attractions</h2> Campers can take a day trip to Chiricahua National Monument. The monument protects some of the most scenic areas of the Chiricahua Mountains, a wonderland of rocks and forests with many opportunities for hiking and photography. <br/><br/> <a href="http://www.nps.gov/chir/index.htm" rel="nofollow">Click here</a> for more about the Chiricahua National Monument.
