The trail follows an old railroad bed East. A short way down this trail is tha <br />
main tourist attraction for the parking area. It is an archaeological site and <br />
there is an information loop with signs telling about the Clovis People that <br />
lived here twelve to fourteen thousand years earlier. This is a foot path <br />
across the wash and not part of the bike ride. Continue East along the rail <br />
bed. Murray springs "springs" from the ground somewhere South of this tril. <br />
There are several spots where it may be neccesary to walk your bike across <br />
deep gullys. The trail meets Murray Creek after 1.6 miles. This is the <br />
junction with the trail leading South to San Pedro House or North to <br />
Escapule Road. Stay North of the stream and make your way across a <br />
severe gully to get on the trail heading North to Escapule trail head. You'll <br />
cross an interesting high wooden bridge and after .4 miles there will be a <br />
break in the fence on the right with a rocky dual track leading 1/4 mile <br />
down hill to the Clanton Family Ranch ruins. This is an interesting historical <br />
site, remember the OK Corral? Return to the main trail and ride 3/4 miles <br />
North along a rocky and sandy dual track to the trail head at Escapule Road <br />
then return to your car for a 6 1/2 mile round trip.
From the junction of Hwy 92 and Hwy 90 in Sierra Vista go 4 miles East on <br /><br />Hwy 90 to the stop light at Moson Road. Turn left (North) on Molson and go <br /><br />1.2 miles. Look for the brown sign on the right marking the entrance to the <br /><br />Murray Springs parking lot which is the trail head.<br /><br />
