A short hike along the Reef Loop Trail.
Located in the Huachuca mountains near the Reef Townsite campground. There is a no fee parking area opposite the campground entrance. Road may be closed during winter months.
Reef was a mining camp from the 1880s to the early 1900s. Miners sought silver, gold, and tungsten here. The Reef Loop Trail begins at the rear of the campground, between spaces 10 and 11. The trail features interpretive signs along its route describing historical points of interest, and photographs of the structures that once were here. The trail provides views of Carr Peak, the Carr Gorge, and Sierra Vista. The trail desends into a ravine to reach the old ore mill site.
NOTE...Carr Canyon Rd. is a narrow one lane mountain road; rutted, rough, and rocky with many switchbacks. A 4WD or high clearance vehicle is recommended. Remember that the vehicle going uphill has the right of way.
The cache is an ammo box
