Overview

A short but thrilling ride in the foothills of the Santa Rita mountains in Santa Cruz County Arizona, the Mohawk Mine Trail is a spur off the Solero Road (FR143) and a must see when driving along that road. The Mohawk Mine is a former small underground, Lead, Copper, Gold, Silver, Zinc mine which produced ore from 1928-1929. Owned at times, or in part, by the Squaw Gulch Mining & Milling Company, and finally worked as marked on the cabin, by James Marcum in 1937. This is still an active claim, with taxes paid in 2018. The best part of this trail is the cabin at the end of the road which seems to have been built last week. As a final fun challenge, there is a steep hill climb that you can take that loops above the cabin with stunning views of Mexico.
