Apache Pass Rd from Bowie, AZ to Chiricahua Nat'l Monument?

Last winter we took Apache Pass, it wasn't bad for a gravel road with rocks.
The hike to Ft Bowie was great!

The Chiricahua National Monuments home page has the following information:
Beginning in January 2016, Bonita Canyon Scenic Drive will be undergoing much needed road improvements and repairs. The road up to Massai Point will be closed for much of the month of January in order to provide maximum safety to visitors and road crews. The visitor center, Bonita Canyon Campground, all hiking trails, and the lower canyon (Faraway Ranch, Silver Spur Meadow Trail, and the road from the park entrance to the campground) will remain open during this time. For more information please contact park staff at the visitor center at (520) 824-3560 x0, or email us at chir_interpretation@nps.gov.

I would not recommend taking Apache Pass Road unless you are OK with traveling on wash board roads.

Apache Pass Rd. is not paved. Take I-10 to Willcox.

When leaving the awesome Chiricahuas instead of going back to Willcox you could take 181 to Sunizona and then 191 north to I-10 - a little different scenery...perhaps even taking in Cochise Stronghold.

You should be fine with your equipment. there is a parking area at the trailhead to the monument that takes you on a fine interpretive trail past the butterfield stage stop ruins, where a major conflict that ignited the indian wars happened, then Apache springs( the only dependable water then) to the cavalry fort ruins. Plan on 1/2 a day to hike and learn.
