Prescott Peavine Trail

The Prescott Peavine trail was once a route for the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix railroad, originally
built in 1893. This 4.5-mile scenic trail takes one through lush riparian areas of cottonwoods and willows,
the Granite Dells, above Watson Lake, and ultimately into open rangelands. The distinctive, massive Dells
formations are the result of long-term weathering of natural cracks in the granite. These cracks, called joints
or planar fractures, originated during the cooling and stressing of a deeply buried molten mass called
a batholith. The Dells granite is estimated to be 1.4 billion years old. Enjoy the pics!
