My Trail Review:
This little connector trail goes from Cayuse Day use area around the parking area (west side) and connects up with Trail #349 near the Granite Basin Lake.
What can I say - I was here - it was here - so I just had to hike it. It's a cute short little connector trail. Ok, if you have small children along or folks who want a short easy scenic walk in the woods. You will see some interesting photos in the gallery of massive cocoon like web insect structures I found along the way too.
Enjoy the Hike!

MAP AND DIRECTION TIPS
From downtown Prescott take Montezuma North - it turns into Whipple and then into Iron Springs Road. Stay on Iron Springs Road all the way out of Prescott. Watch on your right for Forest Road 374, turn right into the Granite Basin Recreational Area on Forest Road 374. You will drive back into the area on this 2 lane blacktop for some ways then just before the Granite Basin Lake parking area you will see a fee parking area on your right. Trail maps are normally by fee box.
