Trail Overview

Box Culvert is a 50" trail in the Prescott National Forest north of Prescott, Arizona that is made up of sections of very curvy two-track in a high desert environment. Starting on the south end, the trail starts off of a dirt road on the south side of US Highway 10. The trail starts just past the locked gate, with a 50" pinch point. It's a really windy trail through the bushes and is a really fun, fast, and flowy ride. The trail goes under the highway through a tunnel and continues on the north side of the highway until it meets up with a road. Follow the trail left and another section of trail will pick back up on the right side of the road. It's a really scenic section of trail that goes right past big granite boulders. This is one of the more scenic trails near Alto Pit. It pops back out on the road, which takes you to the Contreras Trailhead and staging area at the west end of the trail. This trail is easy with just a lot of tight curves, but at some points would be rather narrow for an ATV because it has narrowed over time by only being ridden by dirt bikers.
