Kingston Main Street turns into Forest Road 40E approximately 1 mile west of the end of the paving. The Forest Road takes you to the Ladrone Gulch Trailhead where there is a parking area. This is on Gila National Forest land. There was an old (100 year old) mining road in this exact location. For as long as Kingston has been here, people have passed along this route regularly and unimpeded in cars, trucks, on horseback, and on foot.
Below are pictures of an area no longer accessible to the public.
Thank you Veronique for this post. The greater community can see a glimpse of what we in Kingston know we have lost. There is no easy way in to this canyon without that road access, as we who live here know very well.
