The Ride
The trail ride will begin at the Granite Dells Trail Head parking lot and heads south on the Peavine Trail to downtown Prescott. The ride follows the Peavine Trail, through the Dells, alongside Watson Lake and follows Granite Creek. We pass thru tribal land, right behind the VA Hospital, ride through the VA Hospital and stage for the parade at Yavapai College. The Parade starts from there and will then continue on local streets (with a police escort) to the Court House. The parade will go down Whiskey Row and stop on Goodwin St.
