Driving down the road outside Chiricahua National Monument one could not imagine the pinnacle wonderland just a few miles away. It is amazing to see the Chiricahua pinnacles compared to the surrounding terrain.

I had never seen pictures of these pinnacles before driving into the national monument. I arrived just after sunrise and was pleasantly surprised with all of the photographic possibilities. I wish I had more time to spend hiking the trails among the pinnacles. I think I could have spent a whole day here and not exhaust the photographic possibilities.
