Benbrown Report post Posted September 30, 2010 Most folks camp in the vicinity of Blair Well, just inside the eastern boundary of the National Forest off the Geronimo Trail. Others will camp along the Black Dam CCC road, a spur off of the GTR. There will also be a scattering of camps along the GTR all the way to the state line. The only other access on the New Mexico side is at the end of the county road (old NM Hwy 338) west of Cloverdale. You will need a forest map to stay out of trouble and a good GPS will also help. If you come in from Douglas, you can camp at Miller Spring and drive to the NM/AZ line and start hunting. A stone monument on the north side of the road marks the state line. There is a parking area at Cottonwood Pass (also called Diamond Pass on some maps) at the top of the Peloncillos and there is a trail to the south that will get you in some fair Coues habitat, but you will have to go at least a couple of miles in to get away from other hunters. Basically, all of the public hunting is on the Peloncillo Unit of the Coronado NF, so you will need a forest map, and a BLM land status map is not a bad idea either. Good hunting!
