Route Recorded on Route Scout | Pop | Map | Popup | MapDEX

This hike starts from the Little Granite Mountain Trailhead on Iron Springs Road west of Prescott. The first mile is moderately steep uphill and most of the next 1.5 miles are moderately steep downhill, as you climb over the ridge to the north of Iron Springs Road. On a warmer day, you might want to turn right onto Clark Spring Trail #40 and head northwest toward Granite Basin Lake, especially when its been wet enough for the gully from Clark Spring to have water flow. On this February day, it was comfortable to continue on and take Upper Pasture Trail #38 west. There's very little shade on most of this hike, so it is best done just after sunrise or in cool weather. On Little Granite Mountain Trail, there is a view of the cliff face on the south side of Granite Mountain (see photo).
