Thumb Butte Trails

For those of you who enjoy long hikes, you will love this one. It’s going to be a 10 mile hike, led by Wendell. He is going to take us through the mountains west of Thumb Butte, hiking on parts of several different trails in the area. The hike is moderate, but there are some areas that will get your lungs working out a bit.

Some of the trails we will hike, include:

316 Pine Lakes Trail
318 West Trail
392 Garden Grove Trail
Road 373
333 Honeybucket Trail
322 Circle Connection Trail
327 Potts Creek Trail
321 Butte Creek Trail
323 Butte Connection Trail
326 Thumb Butte Bypass Trail and
367 Miller Creek Trail

Hopefully by the time we hike this area, the wildflowers will be in bloom, the trees will have more green leaves, and we will still have water cascading in the creeks, to listen to as we hike alongside them. This area is beautiful this time of year.

Since this is a long hike, remember to wear sunscreen, a hat, bring lots of water and electrolytes and snacks, both salty and sweet.

We will meet at the Thumb Butte Picnic Area.
Directions:

From downtown Prescott, travel West on Gurley Street, which becomes Thumb Butte Road, for 3.4 miles to the Thumb Butte Road Picnic Area, on the right.

Attached are photos and a map of the hike.
