Yavapai College: Exploring Yavapai County – The Sierra Prieta
September 9 @ 8:00 am - 12:00 pm
$115
Long-time Prescott resident, Gail Gardner (1892-1988) wrote a poem call “The Sierry Petes: Tying knots in the Devil’s Tail” that’s performed regularly by many cowboy poets and musicians. We’ll spend a half-day exploring the Sierra Prieta Mountains south of Prescott, the setting for this poem. Our time will include a short hike on West Spruce Mountain Trail, a visit to the spectacular Sierra Prieta overlook, with great views of Copper Basin far below, and a visit to one of the few Aspen groves in the area, as we talk about the geology, ecology, and history of the range. Includes about a mile of moderate trail hiking at near 7,000 feet elevation. Activity Rating: 2.
