Chiricahua National Monument


Description 

This is a really cool National Monument and should still be protected like it is. This must be the LAND of 1000 SPIRES.

The "Totum Pole" is 137 feet tall and about 3' in diameter.

The place is incredible, but climbing is not allowed. I'm curious if anyone knows why not? You can climb in other national monuments (ex. Devil's Tower)
