the hike | We will be taking a trail that goes around Watson Lake, starting out at the Peavine Trailhead. We will start out going through the Riparian area for the first mile, then hiking through the boulders seeing beautiful views of the lake below and ending up on a rails to trails path the last 1/2 mile. We will be returning on the Peavine Trail but starting out to the west side of Watson Lake at the trailhead to the Riparian area which follows along 89 for a while. After the hike, if there is enough interested parties, we may stop at Prescott for a meal. | ||
