MT Francis loop (Prescott)

PHX season is officially OVER. Let's retreat from highs in the mid 90's to the upper 60's. Perf for hiking. Forecast shows sunny, no problem as this trail provides plenty of shade + views. Next, connect with Copper Trail will take that to the turn off for the peak. There is a registry at the summit.

Will take Moby back. These trails see very little use. Afterward, we will agree on a place to go eat. Chance for a road trip, beautiful hike through the pines + restaurant and still return early.

Stats:
bit over 8 miles
1,600 ft. AEG
Peak elev. 7,100 ft.

Dirt road in and parking is limited. Carpool: Target 2727 W Agua Fria Fwy, 85027. This is next to I-17 & 101. Times are based on car pool location. Let's have a fun escape.
