Richard, incredible is a great description of the Chiricahua mountains. I grew up just 20 miles from the west end of the mountain range. I grew up camping and archey hunting Coues whitetail deer through out the range.
While attending community college to get my Airframe and Powerplant licensed. I worked weekends for the lady that ran the Portal store and a doctor ( Dr Findley Russell) whom had a research lab and home at the mouth of the canyon. Every Saturday I would take a few hours before it got dark looking for artifacts. This area is so rich in history, just one visit and you understand why the local Apaches made this their home.
