This is an Arizona off-road trail into Box Canyon near the Gila River just past Florence with the new Ford Raptor. Once you get past Florence you come to Box Canyon where the off road adventures begin. Then, when you get closer to Martinez Cabin after Box Canyon and you have to park at the trail head and hike to the actual abandoned cabin and mine. The hike itself is easy but the off road trail getting to this old Arizona mine is not so easy and will require a 4x4. If you enjoy off-roading in the Ford Raptor check out more of these episodes.

Living in Arizona is quite a unique experience because of the vastness that the state offers. From the Sonoran Desert in the south to the high country in the north all the way up towards the Four Corners east and the Grand Canyon in the west. Known as the Grand Canyon state, Arizona is diverse in many ways. The state tree is the Palo Verde, the state cactus is the Saguaro, the state bird is the Cactus wren.

Florence Az. I know the family that live in the Martinez cabin. The VillaVerde family lived there in the 1952. Mr. Villaverde worked the old mill, while his wife Connie, son Peter and 2 daughters Vikky and silvia lived in the red cabin. In 1956 this was a flood that can through the canyon and almost washed the family away. Connie and the kids moved to florence where they lived out their lifes. Connie and the son Peter recently pasted and are buried in the cemetery out near the cabin. There are 17 graves there. There is a Highways magazine from January 1997 that Connie did an interview telling the storey about living out there.

Used to go to Martinez canyon years ago. Came in from the Phoenix side. If you keep going you will run into an old mill, that still has the machinery inside. Also what was once a bar inside a cave.

if the rig ain't got Arizona Pin Stipes, ya ain't been 4X4ing with me. pin stripes and Gouges taken out of the skid plates - have a story for most of the gouges - pin stripes just basic badge of courage and use. Nice video. Old Mesa boy. grew up with friends from Kearny area. Road looked in darn good shape compared to some of my past trips. The road has Signs???! Gates??!!! it's been awhile since I was out that way. Did the Coke Ovens with quads years ago. Took a good bit of skill, and puckered up some leather seat cover. drove across the Gila River once to get out. Snuck through the railroad tunnel a couple of times. Stood on the bridge over the Gila. there was a yellow mark showing level of late 1970's Flood. I'm 6ft+ couldn't stand on toes and reach it. heck of a lot of water. Highly recommend do not use tunnel. walked first time, ran like a ape with his butt on fire twice on the quads. When the railroad tracks are shiny - they've been used. Last I heard, you can't even try and do it - someone got caught up in the cow catcher of one. All that area has some gorgeous country. high level of 4X4 required. always let folks know where you're going, when you expect to be out.

I lived in Coolidge 2 for a few years in high school and a few jobs there i live in Tucson now I still have family in Coolidge we have been to Box Canyon many times on our ATVs interesting to see there's a gate postings no Vehicles we have ridden to Martinez cabin and the mine many many times you could start out at 8 in the morning for 5 hour ride your back headed home it is a cool ride sad to see you can't ride into Martinez cabin. There used to be 2 diesel generators sitting on the concrete slabs next to the cabin there's an old cable rig dozer pretty cool and you can ride all the way to superior well you used to be able to I don't know anymore with that gate they're very cool ride though
