During the 1880s, this town was the primary entry and exit location for miners, prospectors, ore and materials. Managed by the BLM, only a few buildings and foundations remain with exhibits explaining the town's history. Several trails leave the town, one of which is a 4-mile, easy and level circuit hike that includes the ruins of a stamp mill. It is a bit of an exaggeration to say it's near the Coronado National Forest, but . . . Here are a few pictures:




Some of the buildings




Interior of restored schoolhouse




Cemetery found along 4-mile trail




Stamp mill also found along the 4-mile trail

That's very neat. I work here on the Coronado but I'm not sure which place that is. Is it Fort Bowie? Which District is it on?

No, it's not Fort Bowie. Enter the coordinates into Google Maps and you'll be right there . . . Fred
