Jacob's Review: 
A really neat forest place, you can drive in a truck or a car and find lots of places to go camping or just a hike and a picnic.

Dad's Notes: 

Carr canyon Road is climbs to the top of the Huachuca Mountain Range on Carr Peak and Miller Peak. At the top of the mountains there used to be the Reef Townsite - an old mining town. Remnants of the town are still visible at the Reef Townsite Campground. Some great hiking, biking, scenery and ... Wildlife, birds, aspen groves and breathtaking mountain vista’s make this a must do day trip or camping activity for anyone visiting the Sierra Vista area.

     For camping motorbikes can only be used to enter and exit campgrounds. Some trail are closed to motorbikes, horse and bikes. Call the Forest Rangers number below for specific trails to your interest!

     Be careful of mines in the area - they are very dangerous and some drop straight down - do not enter mines!
