Trail Overview
Starts out as an easy two-track trail from the water tank. At 0.5 miles in, you'll pass the wildlife water catchment on your right. The trail crosses CCC Creek several times as it twists through the juniper trees. At 1.1 miles in, you leave the creek and start climbing as the trail narrows. The climb is rocky, and there is one ledge to negotiate. Trail levels out at 1.6 miles. The trail then continues another mile or so until you reach the peak. There is a small fire pit, and the views of Prescott Valley all the way to the San Francisco Peaks are amazing.
History
CCC Canyon is named for the Civilian Conservation Corps. Created in 1932 as part of President Roosevelt's New Deal, the CCC created jobs for millions and was integral to creating roads in the area.
