Spruce Mtn via Watershed Trail (Prescott)

Not familiar with this trail or route? That's the type I offer. Lightly used and not much maintenance on this trail. Rocky and steep in places. 3.5 miles with 1,100 ft AEG. Then we jump on a dirt road. Pass a mine along the way and reach a picnic area. Just a bit up from there is the fire tower. This area may be the only place we run into anyone else.

Like last week, this is a mix of trail and dirt road. The dirt rd may feel more like the trail. 😛Similar numbers to last week but more evenly distributed. Less cruising spots but no relentless section either. The tower will allow for better views/pics. Well deserved dinner in Prescott after the hike.

The numbers:
Distance: 12 miles out n back
TH: 6,175 ft.
Tower: 7,645 ft.
AEG: 2,500 ft
High Temp: upper 70's
