Overview: This is a red rock canyon running south from Mulligan Peak, just east of Clifton, AZ. An old mine tunnel, and a few short seasonal waterfalls await explorers, but beware of this canyon's giant cougar!

    To hike
    From Safford, head east on Highway 70/191. 10 miles from Safford, the highway splits, turn left onto Highway 191 and follow it for another 23.75 miles to a (4-way) highway junction known as "3-Way" (old drive-in movie theater and store). Turn left to remain on Highway 191. From the 3-Way junction, head north on highway 191 for approximately 8.3 miles to milepost 162.8, in the town of Clifton (next to the Copper Era newspaper building). At this point, turn left onto Ward Canyon Road, and follow it for about 1.2 miles to the obvious mouth of Red Canyon on the left. Park along Ward Canyon Road and start hiking.
