Traversing Time and Terrain in Southern Arizona’s Dragoon Mountains
<p>Just north of the legendary tourist trap of Tombstone, Arizona, the Dragoon Mountains are a scenic and historically significant spot worth the effort it takes to reach them.</p>
<p>Beautiful and imposing, they look like a giant took a handful of liquid rock and created a series of tall piles like kids sometimes do with wet sand on a beach.</p>
<p>These mountains once served as a base of operations for <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Cochise-Apache-chief" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Cochise</a>, a Chiricahua Apache leader who used the area as a natural fortification against Mexican and United States forces encroaching on their lands.</p>
<p>The Dragoon Mountains take their name from the 3rd U.S. Cavalry Dragoons, who fought against the Chiricahua Apache in the Apache Wars¹.</p>
