Description: This is a fun intermediate ride. There are about 2 1/2 miles of single track
trails with some challenging rocky climbs. The configuration is basically a
lollipop with a few spurs. The location also has several interesting
archaelogical and historical features. There are several sites where you can
view petroglyphs left by many different native people. There are also ruins
of the towns of Charleston and Milltown. These were important during the
time of the silver mining in nearby Tombstone. Milltown was the Southern-
most of five stamp mills situated along the San Pedro river. This is also the
trail head for the trail to Boston Mill 4 miles to the North. I do not
recommend this trail for a mountain bike however. There is a 3/4 mile strech
of the "trail" that is very deep loose sand in a dry wash. This is not a ride
but an arduous push. Perhaps in the future a rideable trail will be
constructed along this stretch. Boston Mill is easier to reach from the North
from the Fairbank Ghoast Town trail head situated on Hwy 82.
