Mile-High Trail System
The Mile-High Trail System contains approximately 28 miles of trails including Rails-to-Trails projects along the former Santa Fe Railroad, the Prescott Circle Trail System, and the Greenways Trails System. The Prescott Circle Trail is a network of trails that continues to expand, and which will eventually encircle all of Prescott. The Greenways Trails are urban trails along Granite and Miller Creeks that run through downtown Prescott.
To see the most recent additions and upcoming expansions to the Prescott Circle Trail check out Rob Hehlen’s Prescott Circle Trail: Fulfilling a Vision (pps, 3.89 mb) Power Point presentation.
