Skeleton Canyon is located 30 miles (50 km) northeast of the town of Douglas, Arizona, in the Peloncillo Mountains, which straddle the modern Arizona and New Mexico state line, in the New Mexico Bootheel region. This canyon connects the Animas Valley of New Mexico with the San Simon Valley of Arizona.
Geronimo's final surrender to General Miles in 1886 occurred at the western edge of this canyon. As the actual surrender site is now on private property, there is a monument along SR 80 to the west.
