A Class III Cultural Resource Survey of 1.9 Acres to Aid in Planning Improvements to the Foothills Loop Trail's Western Drainage Crossings at Kartchner Caverns State Park, Cochise County, Arizona (2017)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
Staff at Kartchner Caverns State Park are considering alterations to sections of the Foothills Loop Trail. Specifically, the westernmost portion of this trail crosses two dry drainages which run east from the eastern flank of the Whetstone Mountains. At present, these crossings include steep, stepped sections. An alternative would be to replace these sections with switchbacks or ramps paralleling the drainages. The property in question is owned by Arizona State Parks & Trails (ASPT). If the...
