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
Author(s): Will Russell
Year: 2017
Summary
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 undertaking moves forward, it will comprise the efforts of ASPT staff, while on duty. Park staff have agreed that any future continuation of this project will avoid site AZ EE:3:31 (ASM), which was relocated during survey.
