8 Maverick Ridge late spring to fall Only 7.6 miles (campsite about one mile south of trailhead at N; W) Scenic trail, illustrate difference in vegetation between south and north-facing slopes Begins at the intersection of Golden Eagle Rd. (which becomes FR 52B) and Senator Hwy Take FR 52B to trail 65 to FR79A to FR79 to FR79B to FR74 to Lower Wolf Creek Campground

15 Sierra Prieta spring to fall 10 to 14.6 miles w/ mines and excellent views Historically, started hike on south end of Skyline Drive, hiked 1 mile along FR 47 and trail 300, camped at Porter Mountain. Next day, hiked and additional 10 miles from trail 300 to trail 264 to FR C64 (Thumb Butte Rd.) to Sierra Prieta Overlook. Then, to FR C65 (Copper Basin Rd.), to FR 9401L, to trail 9415 (or adjacent Jeep trail). These 11 miles can also be done in an 1 day hike (and is mostly downhill).

16 Sierra Prieta (cont d) Porter Mountain is within the Prescott Basin, so for legal camping, but more challenge: Start hike at White Spar road and hike west direction Hike 4.6 miles and up about 1,000 elevation to a dispersed campsite along Copper Basin (good to have someone reserve a campsite for the troop) Next day, hike remaining 10 miles to Iron Springs Rd. Have to hike about 1 mile through Highland Pines, to trail 9400V below the fire station, and eventually along old railroad route (trail 332)

Follow powerlines 1.8 miles to ravine, then follow ravine to Hwy 89A This trail is difficult to drop off and pick up the troop, and more challenging to navigate (a beautiful hike)

27 Mingus Mountain Elevation Profile

28 Mingus Mountain Alternate 10.5 min (spring fall) This is a loop trail that starts and ends at Hwy 89A, but follows dirt roads for about 3 miles Nice campsites (no restrictions) Favorite: 1.7 miles from trailhead going CCW Landmarks (Mingus summit/lookout, Mingus Lake, or take detour to Verde Valley overlook) Take trail 533, to FR 413/105, to FR 132, sharp left after fence along creekbed to trail 110 and the summit.
