This is a 5 mile beginners out and back singletrack ride with a very little <br />
elevation change. The trail has no sandy spots and is pretty smooth. From <br />
the parking area head towards the metal gate to the Southeast. The trail <br />
goes East and after a few yards you will come to a sign for the Northern <br />
trail. It will announce milages for Miller Backcountry Camp and San Pedro <br />
House. This sign lies. It is actually 5 miles to the camp and 9 miles to the <br />
San Pedro House. For this ride pass the sign and continue on the trail wich <br />
will lead East and South across former pasture land and end at the <br />
Northern edge of the small town of Palominas at the Waters Road <br />
Trailhead. There is a charming bed and breakfast inn near the trailhead <br />
located at the East end of Waters Road. This is the Casa De San Pedro and <br />
I found the owner very friendly and the atmoshere very serene.
To get to the Hereford trail head from Bisbee drive West on Hwy 92 <br /><br />towards palominas. About 7 1/2 miles after leaving the city limits of Bisbee <br /><br />look for the sign for Hereford Road on the right (North) side. Follow this <br /><br />road untill you cross the small bridge over the San Pedro River (about 5 <br /><br />miles). Right across the river on the South side (left) you'll see the sign for <br /><br />the Riparian Parking area. This the trailhead and has toilet facilities but no <br /><br />water. The Google Earth Lat/Lon coordinates for the parking arera are 31 D <br /><br />26 M 11.03 N by 110 D 6 M 37.89 W. This trailhead provides access for this <br /><br />ride as well as rides North.<br /><br />
