The least traveled of the four major uphill routes in the Pinals, this one is not to be missed. Traversing both ridge lines with hazy views of the mines surrounding Globe-Miami and heavily wooded ravines, trail No. 192 follows an underground telephone line that supplies service to the summer cabins and communication towers on the peaks.
The trail ends at the Sixshooter Canyon Trail No. 197 junction, where you can either return the way you came or follow 197 back to the trail head; the distance is roughly the same.
