Lower Miller Canyon

MULETEAM HIKES LOWER MILLER CANYON

Join the Muleteam this Saturday for a hike in the foothills of the Huachuca Mountains. The trail is moderate uphill with steep sections toward the mountains, and then loops back down following a small, wooded stream - about 5 miles total. Bring water and lunch. Back mid-afternoon. Free.

Meet Feb. 6 at 9 a.m. by the Old Bisbee courthouse fountain, from which we will car-caravan in our separate vehicles to the trailhead (no carpooling at this time). Alternatively, hikers may meet us at 9:45 a.m. on Miller Canyon Road, at the first parking lot on the left after the road turns to dirt. For more details contact Jan at 704-299-6614 or bolduc03@icloud.com.

Hikers are asked to wear masks, with the exception of those who have difficulty with physical exertion while masked. The latter are asked to maintain a six-foot distance from other hikers.

BACKTRACK - Lewis Springs

The hike to Lewis Springs was delightfully unpredictable and different.  Despite the unexpected encounter with a Search and Rescue training session, we managed to find alternate parking and a way to access the trail at a spot beyond the exercise.  It was a five-mile, flat hike that involved a bit of bushwhacking (okay, maybe more than a bit) and a lovely historical presentation about the colorful history of the site. Fifteen folks and one dog enjoyed the warm, sunny day.  A new hike for the Mule Team! - Laura
