Best Hike in the Gila Wilderness? S. Fork Whitewater Trail

Stunning out and back trip with waterfalls, deep pools, ruins, and petroglyphs. Catwalk Recreation Area to Tennessee Meadows via trails 207 and 212. Length: 14.5 miles. Elevation gain: 2,300 ft. Items of Interest: There is a rich history of gold and silver mining in this canyon dating back to the late 1800s. Our campsite at the confluence of S. Fork and Whitewater Creeks was a miner camp and the Powerhouse supplied energy for the processing mill for the gold and silver ore. The original Catwalk carried a water supply pipe that had to be elevated above the box canyon. Shout out to Justin and his trail crew for the work they did on 212.
