Trail Overview

The Powerline trail system through the Prescott National Forest has been just that: a problem. From locked gates to inaccessible areas, this section of trail is one of the rougher sections mapped thus far. Rocks, erosion, and wash crossings, with steep long climbs and declines, this section must be driven with caution. No cell service is available out here, so offline maps are recommended. This trail is primarily rock, with larger, couch-cushion-sized obstacles pocking the entire trail. While the base map suggests a steep downhill, this section of trail ends with a dead end/reclaimed section at its southern end that does not connect to the rest of the sections even though they are in sight. Along this trail, you'll find evidence of elk, deer, antelope, and many species of birds that make this area of the National Forest home.
