Come hike the Groom Creek Loop ( Spruce Mountain) in Prescott....

Distance: 8.7 Miles RT
Difficulty: Moderate
Elev: 6400-7693 Elev Change: 1375ft...

A popular loop hike in the Prescott area; with a trailhead elevation of 6346. It is a steady climb up Spruce Mountain and back down. Great views along the way and from the top . Picnic tables for lunch!! There is also a fire lookout tower on top. The hike follows forest trail 307 up and over Spruce Mountain, going through large stands of Ponderosa, Spruce and Oak trees, as well as providing some spectacular views of the surrounding countryside (including the Granite Dells, Granite Mountain, The San Francisco Peaks, and three area lakes). No reliable water sources along the trail, so bring your own

I am hoping to set this up as a car camp on Saturday night followed by hike on Sunday - returning home Sunday.

Please pick the date that works best for you and then we will work out the details ....

So for me...........the 20/21 is Father's Day weekend (this might affect others) and I have another hike scheduled the 27/28 so I'm good for either the first or second selection.
