The Most Underrated Mountain Range in Arizona

Finding the most fascinating mountain range in Arizona with the best group of overlanders I know. The Chiricahua mountain range has long been my favorite mountain camping here in Arizona. Join along to see how these mountains are so wildly beautiful and under appreciated in this state. Overlanding the Chiricahuas has long been my favorite activity in my truck.

    I worked for the Forest Service and firefighter back in the day and was stationed at Rustlers Park. It was the best time of my life clearing trails and fighting fires off the Crest Trail from Rucker to Portal.
