This is a wonderful historic place to visit on the Douglas Ranger District of the Coronado National Forest. There is great signage describing the various remains of the building from the fort. This is especially a must-see after visiting the National Park Service's Fort Bowie National Historic Site. There is a lot of history in these mountains. You can visit this site at no cost.

A well preserved piece of SW American history! It is definitely off the beaten path being a 15+ mile trek on dirt roads. I would say most vehicles should not have any issues getting there but it is remote. There is no admission and you park just off the road. There are no services here and no cell service (T-Mobile)

This is an out of the way historical place that is so interesting to actually go to. There are plaques all around explaining the significance. The road to get there is dirt but very well maintained, any vehicle could make it with ease. I highly recommend this place for anyone who is into history, birds, or natural beauty. There are also campsites nearby that would be a great place to camp as well.

Nice historic site to visit. Several buildings to explore, and some remaining foundations. Placards are near most of the buildings.

Rucker Canyon is a beautiful area of the southern end of the Chiricahua Mountains. I highly suggest that you take the first "Forest Access" road on the north side of Rucker Canyon road itself if you come in from the west end. You'll need a high-clearance vehicle and preferably 4-wheel drive, however you'll find amazing campsites 1/2 mile to 1 mile in. You won't be able to pull any trailer in on th...

You'll need a high-clearance vehicle and preferably 4-wheel drive, however you'll find amazing campsites 1/2 mile to 1 mile in. You won't be able to pull any trailer in on this 4x4 road unless it is one of the short, high-clearance style camp trailers. We camped 100 yards from a dirt tank (man-made pond for livestock) that was secluded and offered incredible views of the canyon and cliffs. This forest access passes through private land at first, with lots of "No Camping" signs, but continue on and you will be hugely rewarded. Very little traffic in March though the local forest service office said that summer is the busy time. The day temps were 60 - 68F and the night dipped down to 23F so bring your best cold weather gear. We saw 7 vehicles in 3 days.....
