Location Information
Telephone Trail #192 on the Pinal Mountain is noted for it's scenic beauty and ruggedness, the trail along the ridge also offers some splendid views of the Miami/Globe area and passes an historic sawmill site from the turn of the century. Trail #192 begins at the parking lot of Icehouse C.C.C. Recreation Site and runs southwest across Forest Road 112. There is a fork at mile 0.2 where Trail 198 begins on the right. Stay left on Trail 192 and continue to Dog House Springs where Trail 192 once again meets Trail 198 and the two run together for about 200 feet past the remains of an old cabin. Trail 192 turns east and climbs out of Icehouse Canyon. The trail runs up a narrow ridge along an underground power and telephone line offering scenic views of Globe and Miami. It then drops into upper Sixshooter Canyon where it meets Sixshooter Canyon Trail #197 near the ruins of an old sawmill. At this point one could turn right on Trail 197 and go 0.9 miles to the Ferndell Spring Trailhead, or turn left onto Trail 197 for an additional 3.8 miles and return to the Icehouse C.C.C. Recreation Site.
