Johnny Ringo was an outlaw and gunfighter who became a notorious figure in the American West, thanks largely to his time in Tombstone, Arizona and his dealings with the Earps and Doc Holliday. Featured in numerous films and TV series, the mystery surrounding Ringo's death only added to his legend. He was found dead near Turkey Creek Canyon with a gunshot wound to the head. While the official cause of death was that he took his own life, some historians have disputed that.
In this video we travel to Southeastern Arizona, near the Chiricahua Mountains in Cochise County, to the place where Johnny Ringo died and still remains. Then we continue down Turkey Creek Road, into the Chiricahua Mountains and the Coronado National Forest where we discover wildlife, ruins, and what's at the end of the road.
