The goal was to to camp two nights in the Chiricahua Mountains. Usually I head over to West Turkey Creek Canyon, but I want to save that for another trip. So, I started my search by stopping at the monument first. There weren't many spots taken, which surprised me, but soon I realized why. Because of past flooding problems there, the majority of sites were closed. This is like closed for the season, not based on any current flooding. A CYA move all the way. Only a few remained and there was occupancy, so I scratched the monument for camping. Next up it was over the mountain on FR 42. There are some decent dispersed sites along Pinery Canyon Road, but I really wanted to be in a spot with some open sky and hiking trails. I figured I would try Rustler Park next.
