Confirmed from Miller Peak Wilderness' own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Miller Peak Wilderness
Hiked Miller Peak from the upper trailhead parking on Miller Canyon Road. It's an all day hike with about 4000' of cumulative elevation gain, so come prepared. The access road is dirt, but I didn't have any issues getting to the trailhead in my little car.
The sky fish now watches over these mountains, so I guess you don’t have to worry about trail encounters with illegals. Great fall color. Hiked Hamburg trail first week of November.
Trailways great the Crest Trail up to Miller Peak finally made the summit to the peak. There was more snow than expected. It's definitely a leg burner 6400 to 9100 feet in elevation in 5 miles. The views from the top world worth the pain.
Miller peak wilderness is located in the heart of the Huachuca mountains near Sierra Vista in Cochise County arizona. This is a beautiful wilderness area with streams forests hiking trails all located within the Coronado National Forest.
