Doubtful Canyon, Canyon in Cochise County, Arizona, United States
Doubtful Canyon extends for 9.2 miles through the Peloncillo Mountains, featuring steep rock walls and diverse geological formations near the Arizona-New Mexico border.
The canyon earned its name during the Apache Wars when it became known as a frequent location for Apache warriors to conduct ambushes against travelers.
Native American archaeological sites discovered near the canyon provide evidence of early inhabitants and their historical connection to this geographical formation.
Visitors should bring necessary supplies and emergency equipment as the canyon area has limited cellular coverage and varying weather conditions throughout the year.
The canyon contains a tributary called Little Doubtful Canyon, which joins the main formation just east of the Arizona-New Mexico state boundary.
