Come and discover natural wonders that are millions of years old at Chiricahua National Monument! Then learn what life was like for its earlier inhabitants, the Chiricahua Apaches and Buffalo Soldiers at the Faraway Ranch Historic District. While the park and campground are open year round, visitors can expect snow November through March.

The Arizona Game And Fish department stocks the Urban fishing lakes on an every-other-week schedule from October to July. Between July and September, the water temperature in the lakes rises too high to allow safe stocking of fish, so no stocking takes place. Luckily, anglers can easily drive to Payson, or Prescott to get their fishing fix, in the cool pine forests of central Arizona.
