Rucker Canyon, Canyon and valley system in Cochise County, Arizona, United States
Rucker Canyon features diverse landscapes that transition from high desert terrain to riparian areas within the Coronado National Forest of southeastern Arizona.
Camp Rucker, established within the canyon, served as a military outpost during territorial conflicts, marking the area's significance in Arizona's development.
The canyon represents the natural heritage of southeastern Arizona, connecting modern outdoor recreation with traditional Native American territories.
Visitors reach the canyon through US Route 191, where multiple maintained trails offer opportunities for hiking and nature observation throughout the year.
A landslide transformed the landscape by destroying Rucker Lake near the headwaters, altering the natural water flow patterns in the canyon system.
