Overview
An out-and-back trail on the Fort Huachuca Reservation in the Miller Peak Wilderness Area. A vehicle with good ground clearance and preferably 4WD helps reach the marked start of McClure Canyon about a half-mile from the turn-off from Garden Canyon Road. Otherwise, starting from the turn-off is also a good hike.


Hike
Trail starts as an unimproved road before narrowing to a path suitable for foot traffic only for the ascent to the crest, where a hiker can likely reach Huachuca Peak. Trail is mostly shaded, though there are exposed sections higher up. The difficulty is moderate, with approximately 2000 feet of elevation gain. Unlike nearby Scheelite Canyon Trail, there are no portions where scrambling/climbing is absolutely necessary, though quick jaunts off-trail for scrambling can be made.

    FR / Jeep Road - Car possible when dry

    To hike
    From Sierra Vista, enter Fort Huachuca (you'll need a visitor pass if you don't have a DoD ID card; visitor passes are available at the Van Deman gate) from the Buffalo Soldier (Fry Blvd) Gate. Travel up Squier Road until you can take a left on either Winrow or Allison. When you see the sign that says "Off-post traffic keep left," stay in the right-hand lane. Where traffic merges onto Winrow Road to exit the Fort, crossover the main road onto the smaller road that goes towards range control. Follow this range road until you reach Garden Canyon Road, and turn right onto Garden Canyon. Follow Garden Canyon past the lower and upper picnic areas, and then turn off the road onto the unpaved route that is marked with a small "16" sign. Park here, or continue up this unimproved road until you want to start hiking.
