Coldwater Trail #21 (ATV)

This segment of Trail 21 is a 0.8-mile-long two-track through the Prescott National Forest. The north end starts off of Forest Service Road 21. There’s a pull-off at the start of the trail that could be used as parking or dispersed camping. The trail is wide and easy to start, descending down a gradual grade with a bit of loose rock, but quickly becomes rockier and more moderate. There are lots of baby heads in the trail, especially as it dips down and crosses a couple of small ravines, one with a shallow stream running through it. As it continues, the trail has mild off-camber slopes, and lots of small boulders loose in the trail. They aren’t major ledges, but make it a chunky ride. The trail also goes through a cattle gate. The trail is well-marked and easy to follow. After .8 miles, it ends at an intersection with Trail 9915, and the singletrack segment of Trail 21 begins.
