aka Greenways Trail System by Peter_Medal The Granite Creek Trail connects with the Miller Creek Trail and loop into the A. C. Williams Granite Creek Park, collectively known as the Greenways Trail System. These trail systems are centrally located in the heart of the central Prescott. Lush greenery under a forest canopy lines the trails with an abundance of shade. The Granite Creek trail runs one block west of the infamous Whiskey Row which sides the Courthouse Square. Currently, the Greenways Trail System are about 1.5 miles of multi-use trails running along Granite Creek (north to south); Miller Creek (east to west); which convene and connect northeast to the A.C. Williams Granite Creek Park. The trail system is multi-use and the City of Prescott has plans to connect and extend these trails. City of Prescott overview map of the GTS. The Granite Creek portion extends from Aubrey Street at Mile High Middle School (south entrance) and meanders north to the Granite Creek Park.
