Huachuca Mountains | Ida & Oversite Trails Loop | It’s not the same trail

This is an 8½-mile loop hike with 3,100' of elevation gain. Like most of the trails in the Huachucas, both the Ida Canyon and Oversite Canyon trails started off as mining roads.   / @flynnhikes   There are old mines, caves, a tumbled down miner's cabin that we didn't stop at on this hike, and more along this route. On a winter hike a couple years ago I followed both a Border Patrol agent and a mountain lion's tracks in the snow along the way. You are very close to the Mexico-U.S. border in this area. Photo on Ramsey Peak at 5:03 is courtesy of Leonard Taylor. Leonard's dad, Fred, retired from hiking with his son after the grueling trek on which this photo was taken.😂 DIRECTIONS to the trailhead: From FR 61, turn north onto FR 771. Drive about a mile and park at the cowboy gate. The Ida Mine mainly produced lead, silver, tungsten and copper ores during the early 1900's.
