Path Type
There and Back
The trail starts off mild with mostly flat or gently sloping sections. Decomposed granite makes up the path under your feet. After the fork with Little Granite Mountain Trail #37, the trail steepens to a series of switchbacks up to Blair Pass. At the pass, continue following the trail up and to the right. Here, the trail disappears a few times as you work your way over granite sections, but a careful eye will spot the trail as it continues ahead. The trail ends at an rocky outcropping overlook with an epic view. High winds up here!
Designated by Congress in 1984, this Granite Mountain Wilderness area encompasses over 9,000 acres. Despite its proximity to the city of Prescott, visitors find opportunities for solitude and physical challenge in a remote setting.
