| partners | | Thumb Butte Trail #33
A grippy 0.7mi / 620-foot ascent is always a refreshing start.
Thumb Connect Trail #314
The joy ride transitions to a pine forest trot. The name is longer than the trail.
Thumb Butte Bypass Trail #326
A few paces through the pines nets another easy unique.
Butte Connection Trail #323
This gentle half-mile descent is loaded with pine trees. 4 uniques in 2.4mi puts a smile on any trail lover.
Butte Creek Trail #321 - Prescott NF
This one is always a pleasure and feels isolated. The trail travels along the east bank.
Potts Creek Trail #327
The pines keep coming. None of these trails are worthy of the drive by themselves but I've always enjoyed this one more than the name suggests.
Cold Springs Trail #393
A steady subtle ascent continues with distant urban views.
Aspen Creek Trail #48
Albeit short-lived the nicest creekside stroll of the day.
Moby Trail #737
Unknowingly hiked over 0.75mi, we enjoyed it so much we missed a turn.
West Spruce Trail #264
After a long forest road walk, this weaves along the Sierra Prietta ridge. Peekaboo views of Granite Mountain.
Williams Peak Trail #738
Impromptu addition was a better-than-expected treat.
Garden Party #324
The White Rock Trailhead is large. The west end slithers around some boulders, then evens out alongside a ravine.
Miller Creek Trail #367
Signage warned of being squashed by mountain bikes. The creek was clear but as shallow as I recall.
Thumb Butte South Area Loop
This would be a nice package-deal variation for rehabbing seniors.
Synopsis
Various loops here have always been enjoyed more than anticipated. Pleasant lowkey miles. |
