This loop hike along the Mormon Ridge Trail to Mormon Saddle and then down Mormon Canyon Trail is 7 miles with 2,700' of elevation gain. Because Mormon Ridge is exposed to the south it's best hiked in cool weather.    / @flynnhikes  
It's a good route to Chiricahua Peak.    • Chiricahua Peak 9,759’ & Monte Vista Peak ...  

DIRECTIONS to the trailhead: Take US 191 along the west side of the Chiricahuas until you turn east onto State Route 181. Eventually the road turns into the dirt Forest Road 41 (aka Turkey Creek Road). Continue about 9 miles to the Mormon Ridge trailhead. If you drive past the Sycamore Campground you've gone a little too far.
