Apache Country

"A short distance south of the [Geronimo Surrender] marker [on AZ 80, just north of Apache, Arizona] is a road which leads east and then south/southeast to the actual surrender site [in Skeleton Canyon]. This is four-wheel-drive country, and heavy rains can render the road virtually impassible in spots. Once at the site, the canyon road leads east and ends about two miles inside New Mexico. From there, travel is by foot following either the canyon floor (the creek bed) or a higher narrow trail. For one who wishes to understand the elusiveness of the Apaches and the difficulties in the Army's attempts to capture them, a day spent hiking Skeleton Canyon will be an invaluable lesson."
