Erickson Cemetery overview
Erickson Cemetery
The cemetery is essentially a snapshot of Arizona's history, with graves dating back to the 1800s. Visitors can pay their respects to pioneers, soldiers, and other individuals who helped shape the state. The cemetery is also an important reminder of the harsh conditions that the early settlers had to endure in order to survive in this rugged landscape.
One of the most unique things about Erickson Cemetery is the use of petrified wood as grave markers. These stunning pieces of stone are a testament to the geology of the area, and add a special touch to the cemetery that cannot be found anywhere else.
Visitors to Erickson Cemetery can take a guided tour to learn about the history of the area, or simply wander around on their own to admire the markers and ponder the lives of those who came before. The cemetery is open year-round, although temperatures can get quite hot during the summer months.
Overall, Erickson Cemetery is a fascinating and important part of Arizona's heritage, and a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, geology, or simply experiencing the unique beauty of the area.

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.
