![]() ![]() Phillip barely had time to snap photos, and I had my hands full with Quijote. Moments later, we saw a young coati atop the hill above the cave entrance! He started sniffing along the edge, and then scampered down its sheer face and into the cave. Apparently, though, they’re a common sight, going in and out of the cave and hunting around the park for trash (which, of course, is on-brand for the raccoon family). We had no idea there’d be a chance to see one that day. Phillip and I have been on the lookout for one ever since we went to Chiricahua for the first time and didn’t see any there. We were looking around the terrace when I overheard one of the staff tell the group waiting for their tour time that they often see coatimundis going in and out of the cave.Ī coatimundi (or “coati”) is a long-nosed member of the raccoon family that mostly lives in Central America, but has also found its way into higher elevations of the Southwestern U.S. There are also nice hiking trails outside the cave – I’m sure they’ll be even nicer when it’s not summery hot.
