Bonita Canyon, Canyon in Chiricahua National Monument, Arizona, United States
The quarter-mile-wide box canyon features volcanic tuff walls and extends through the western slope of the Chiricahua Mountains at 5,360 feet elevation.
The canyon contains the Faraway Ranch Historic District, which represents early settlement patterns and ranching activities in southeastern Arizona during the territorial period.
Native American tribes, including Apache groups, utilized the canyon's resources and surrounding mountains for centuries before European settlement began in the region.
The canyon's campground accommodates vehicles up to 29 feet in length, with site fees of $20 per night and designated spaces for tents and food storage.
Bonita Creek flows along the northern edge of the canyon, supporting diverse wildlife including mountain lions, black bears, and occasional jaguar sightings.
