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.

Can't wait to start my journey into overlanding! hopefully I find a group like yours here in AZ! happy trails!
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.
I love how this video came together!
Another great video son. What a wonderful experience. You are getting to be a pro at this.

Great video just found you. Looks like big log woods same as in the north where I’m from I really like that it’s not that crowded there. We up here in the northern part by Winslow have a lot of people in the woods but great looking country down there. I didn’t realize it was so massive thanks
Wilcox is a cool little place i got to a lot of the area. Jonny Ringo's grave site
The Chiricahuas are one of my favorite ranges in our whole state; along with the Huachucas, near Sierra Vista. The sky islands are really something special. You got some great footage on this trip!

It’s a wonderful area indeed. I’m truthfully hoping it doesn’t pass. The area is pretty untraveled now which is great but you’ll have all the folks coming in to cross it off their NP list…
We love that spot we camp pretty much in the same area a couple times a year. The fire has really changed the top of the mountain but it's still a really neat place. Hoping to buy some land down around Portal one day.

The top of this range is closed during the winter time, too steep of a grade and gets a couple feet of snow at 8k’ in January. It sure is prettt when it’s snow capped
