Bonita Creek overview
Bonita Creek
One of the main reasons to visit Bonita Creek is the abundance of wildlife in the area. The creek is home to several species of birds, including the elegant trogon, which is a rare bird found only in this region of the United States. Other bird species that can be spotted here include the black-chinned hummingbird, the painted redstart, and the juniper titmouse.
Bonita Creek is also known for its stunning scenery, including towering rock formations, lush vegetation, and crystal-clear streams. Visitors can take a leisurely walk along the creek, enjoy a picnic, or simply soak in the natural beauty of the area.
For those seeking more adventure, Bonita Creek offers several hiking trails that range from easy to challenging. The Bonita Creek Trail, for example, is a moderate hike that takes visitors through a beautiful canyon with stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The Upper Rhyolite Canyon Trail is a more challenging hike that takes visitors to the top of a ridge where they can enjoy panoramic views of the entire Chiricahua National Monument.
Overall, Bonita Creek is a unique and beautiful destination that offers something for everyone. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, an avid hiker, or simply looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Bonita Creek is a must-visit destination that will not disappoint.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
