The Gila National Forest, Wilderness Ranger District is proposing to implement a trail reroute project on 2.41 miles of Black Canyon Trail #72 and 3.57 miles of Aspen Canyon Trail #75. The project is needed due to post-fire flood damage.
Location
T13S, R11W, Sec. 7, 8, 35; T14S, R11W Sec. 2, 3. Project includes abandonment of existing, damaged sections of Aspen Canyon Trail and Black Canyon Trail, rerouting them to higher ground with more resilient and sustainable profiles. Black Canyon Trail reroute also avoids crossing of private property.
