To Miles Ranch Trailhead From Superior
Head out east on US 60. Pass through the Queen Creek Tunnel and continue 10 miles to mile marker 239.4
Turn left onto this paved road that enters the Pinto Mine. Follow the paved road 2.8 miles and turn left onto FS 287. Go slow at the numerous intersections. Your goal is to figure out which are mine roads and which are public access. Public access signs are posted on most of the intersections. Some aren't exactly clear which way they are pointing. You will leave the private land of the Pinto Mine and crossover onto forest land.
At about seven miles, you turn left onto 287A. Follow FS 287A to the end. It's called Kennedy Ranch on maps, but the trailhead is called Miles Ranch.
From PHX (I-10 & AZ-51) 88.0 mi - about 1 hour 53 mins From TUC (Jct 1-10 & Grant) 121 mi - about 2 hours 43 mins From FLG (Jct I-17 & I-40) 232 mi - about 3 hours 56 mins
