Chinaman Trail #137
Travel info for this amazing destination in Arizona USA
Chinaman Trail #137 is located in Arizona USA.
For the most part, this trail follows the course of an old ditch used to bring water from Bear Spring to mining operations farther east in the historic Kentucky Camp area. The ditch and the original trail are said to have been constructed by Chinese laborers around 1900. This easy trail follows the level, circuitous course marked out for the waterway across the canyon-cut landscape. To get started, trail users must make a short scramble over a low hill through which a tunnel was cut to allow water to flow from Casa Blanca Canyon into Gardner Canyon. From the south end of the tunnel, the trail is easy to follow to Bear Spring in broad Casa Blanca Canyon. Chinaman Trail #137 is part of the 790-mile, cross-state Arizona Trail.
Directions to Trail Head:
From Sonoita, drive 4 miles north on Highway 83 and turn west (left) onto FR 92. Go 6.3 miles to FR 785. Follow FR 785 about 3 miles to Tunnel Spring. (The site has a small, round watering trough next to a barbed wire fence.) Park there and scramble up and over the hill on the south side of the road to the trail.
