Experience the beauty and history of Lutz Canyon, a deep and narrow canyon offering hikers spectacular views of the San Pedro River Valley, the Mule Mountains, and San Jose Peak in Mexico. The trail follows an old mining road, climbing through varied landscapes that range from pine-oak forests in the lower elevations to impressive stands of Douglas-fir higher up. Along the way, hikers are treated to expansive vistas, diverse vegetation, and the sense of walking through a place steeped in history and natural beauty. The trail provides a moderate challenge while offering plenty of opportunities to pause and take in the surrounding scenery.
Discover the rich mining history of Lutz Canyon as the trail passes the remains of old mines dating back to Spanish exploration in the sixteenth century and later prospecting activity in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The remnants of mining equipment and old sites are preserved within the Miller Peak Wilderness, offering hikers a glimpse into the past. The hike concludes at the Black Bear Mine before returning to the trailhead, giving participants the chance to reflect on both the natural and cultural significance of the area. The combination of historical landmarks, wildlife habitat, and panoramic views makes this trail an engaging and memorable experience for all who venture along it.

Avoid this place. Customer service is terrible. Dropped off two watches with the acknowledgment from the staff that they would call me within a day to give me prices on replacing the crystals and an alternate for a sapphire crystal. Never got a call. One week later, I called to find out the status and the pricing of the watches. Employee told me that she was busy and told me to call back in 30 minutes. Why didn’t she take my name and number and call me back with the information that I needed? At every point that I dealt with this company they provided absolutely no customer service. After about 10 days, I finally showed up thinking my watches would be done and they weren’t so I picked up my watches which had never been worked on and left to try and start over and find somebody else to work on my watches. Another company that would provide me with good communication adequate pricing a good timeline for the repairs and then meet all of those commitments to their customers. You’ve got a whole lot of choices in jewelers and watch repair places around this area. I suggest you find somebody else and take your business there

Had to resize my ring, down about two sizes. They did a fantastic job. Brought it in Thursday and it was done Saturday (2 days)... during the holidays. With the resize they had to retighten each stone, as you can see I have halo style with many little stones. They also replated/redipped it. Great price and service. Highly recommend.
