Black Hills Back Country Byway

The Black Hills Back Country Byway is a 21-mile graded-dirt route through southeastern Arizona between Safford and Clifton, accessing the Gila Box Riparian National Conservation Area, historic mining sites, and Civilian Conservation Corps erosion-control structures from the 1930s. The byway follows the Gila River through what BLM calls "the rugged heart of the Old West," passing fire-agate rockhounding areas, the Owl Creek Campground, and overlooks of the Gila Box's deep canyon.
