==Hiking up Miller Peak==
The summit of Miller Peak can be gained by any of several trails, which all involve moderately strenuous hikes requiring approximately in elevation gain and distance round-trip. Perhaps the most well-known trailhead is found at the end of Miller Canyon Road, near Hereford, Arizona. Other popular trails include the Montezuma Pass trailhead in the Coronado National Forest and the Carr Peak trailhead, but the short trail to the summit off the main Crest Trail can be reached from nearly any other trail in the Huachucas. Notable landmarks along the way include Bathtub Springs and Bear Saddle. Nearby Carr Peak () can be reached in the same day, along the Crest Trail.
Those attempting to hike to the summit of Miller Peak should bring at bare minimum 3 liters of water, especially in the summer months. The humidity in winter is very low ( < 15%) so bring more water than you expect even when the temperatures are not high. In winter snow storms are common. In summer fierce lightning storms and flash floods hit the peaks so do not hike in summer when thunderstorms are present. Hikers should also be aware the area is frequented by immigrants and drug runners crossing over from Mexico, just a few miles away. Always be aware of your surroundings. Although traffic has decreased in recent years, trash from recent travelers is easily evident. You will also occasionally cross paths with Border Patrol agents as they also hike the area on patrol.
