Chiricahua National Monument is located in Southeastern Arizona. It preserves the remains of the Turkey Creek Caldera eruption of 27 million years ago. The close to 2,000 feet of ash and pumice has hardened into rhyolite tuffs, which have eroded into the columns which are the most unique feature of the park. Also preserved is the Fairaway Ranch, a 19th century homestead owned by Swedish immigrants.
