Prescott-area trail conditions

Post by chumley »

I'm heading to Prescott Friday (2/15) and wondered what the trails are like.

I assume that there's snow on Spruce and Granite Mtns. What about Thumb Butte?

Are Lynx Lake, Watson Lake, and Granite Dells snow free? Muddy?

Wx looks to be a bit wet Wed/Thurs, so that may affect things, but I'd be curious to know how things look now.

Any local info would be appreciated. Thx.

I was there this past Saturday. There's definitely snow on Granite Mountain. I hiked Clark Springs Trail, which utilizes the same trailhead, and I was trudging through snow the entire time. I didn't actually go to Thumb Butte, but from what I could see, it had some snow on it's slopes. I also know that the top of Thumb Butte is closed. Can't go past the high point in the trail.
