Commitment to Sustainable Trails

Since 1989

Yavapai Trails Association has been dedicated to creating and maintaining sustainable trails within Yavapai county. We collaborate with many other organizations, municipalities, and land managers to create safe and interesting outdoor spaces for all our area residents and visitors to enjoy.  As residency in our county grows, so does the traffic on our trails. Yavapai Trails Association has a goal to increase community awareness of trail etiquette and safety as well as education regarding preservation and sustainable use of the trails and the lands they take us through.

Proud Founders of

Prescott Circle Trail

The Prescott Circle Trail is a network of our best non-motorized trails that combine to make a 54 mile loop around Prescott. The PCT is jointly managed by the City of Prescott (25 miles) and Prescott National Forest (29 miles). The trail comes as close as three miles to downtown Prescott and is easily accessible with 15 trailheads along its length. A lap of the PCT has about 6000 feet of elevation gain and can be enjoyed as an adventurous one or two day trip or a multi-day trip over a period of days, weeks or months. Three of Prescott’s four seasons – spring, summer, and fall – offer superb conditions on the PCT.
