Pioneer Park; Legacy Trail
(Trail Pooch Team, Wicket and Noel, posting from Prescott, Arizona)
Hike Date: 7/30/2010; Friday.
If you're into some long range views and a relatively less traveled trail in the Brownlow Trail/Pioneer Park area of Prescott, I recommend the trails which lie north of the main corridor trails. The Legacy Trail is a nice trail which loops around from Keebler Field and back again. To access the trail, Wicket and I typically will park at the west end of Keebler Field and hike up the power line road, pick up the Brownlow Trail and head a few hundred feet to the west where we'll cross under Pioneer Parkway through tunnel number two, one of three tunnels that allow access to the northern trails in the area. Then it's only a short distance to the Legacy Trail which is marked by signage.
Wicket and I met four hikers and three pooches right where the Legacy Trail begins. Wicket had a great time meeting these three pups and saying hi to their four humans. I jawboned for a good while and found out that we know a few of the same people in the area. In this photo are: Wicket on the far left, Sammy the Springer Spaniel, Daisy the Miniature Australian Shepard and Wally the Jack Russell Terrier. They were all nicely behaved and friendly as were their humans! It was a fun encounter.
Wild Flowers are doing well in the area this year, thanks to all the rain.
Granite Mountain to the west of this Alligator Juniper where some thoughtful soul has placed one of two park benches which are nicely situated along the Legacy Trail.
View from one of the ridge tops along the Legacy Trail looking east at Glasford Hill, shrouded in a white vail of fog. There are some great view sites along this trail.
