Hunter Canyon Trail #111

This trail and Clark Spring Trail #124 contour along the east slope of the Huachucas, connecting three of the major canyons that cut that side of the mountain range. By doing so, they not only provide alternate access to trails that lead into those canyons, but offer excellent opportunities in their own right for easy day trips along the lower slopes of the mountain range with scenic views of the San Pedro Valley and the mountains beyond.

Hunter Canyon Trail begins at Kelly Spring and leads up and over a saddle into Miller Canyon. This trail offers good views of Miller Canyon, Miller Peak, the San Pedro Valley and the Mule Mountains near Bisbee. Along this part of the trail you’ll see evidence of the day when this area was humming with mining activity and literally crawling with miners.

From the Hunter Canyon/Miller Canyon trail junction, you’ll have to follow Miller Canyon Trail #106 about a half mile down to the Clark Spring Trailhead for access to Clark Spring Trail #124.
