This is a fun intermediate ride. There are about 2 1/2 miles of single track <br />
trails with some challenging rocky climbs. The configuration is basically a <br />
lollipop with a few spurs. The location also has several interesting <br />
archaelogical and historical features. There are several sites where you can <br />
view petroglyphs left by many different native people. There are also ruins <br />
of the towns of Charleston and Milltown. These were important during the <br />
time of the silver mining in nearby Tombstone. Milltown was the Southern-<br />
most of five stamp mills situated along the San Pedro river. This is also the <br />
trail head for the trail to Boston Mill 4 miles to the North. I do not <br />
recommend this trail for a mountain bike however. There is a 3/4 mile strech <br />
of the "trail" that is very deep loose sand in a dry wash. This is not a ride <br />
but an arduous push. Perhaps in the future a rideable trail will be <br />
constructed along this stretch. Boston Mill is easier to reach from the North <br />
from the Fairbank Ghoast Town trail head situated on Hwy 82.<br />
From the junction of Hwy 90 and Hwy 92 in Sierra Vista go one block North <br /><br />on Hwy 90 to Martin Luther King Jr Parkway and turn right (East) it will soon <br /><br />turn into E Charleston Road. Proceed East for about 7 1/2 miles. The <br /><br />entrance to the parking lot for the trail head is a short distance past the <br /><br />San Pedro River on the left and is next to a "fire danger level" sign. From <br /><br />the turn-off for the Clovis Site Murray Springs ride on Molson Road go North <br /><br />for about 2 miles then turn right onto Charleston Road and go about 3 <br /><br />miles to reach the parking lot.<br /><br />
