FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRESCOTT, AZ (November 12, 2026) – After decades of planning, collaboration, and hard work, the Prescott Circle Trail is complete! The City of Prescott invites the community to celebrate this milestone with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, November 19, at 11 a.m. at the Longview Trailhead. A group hike will follow the ceremony.
The Prescott Circle Trail creates a continuous loop around Prescott, connecting some of the area’s most scenic landscapes and recreation areas. The trail provides opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, running, and horseback riding while showcasing the natural beauty of Prescott.
The vision for the trail began in the 1990s, with the Yavapai Trails Association working alongside the City of Prescott, Prescott National Forest, and numerous community partners to make it a reality. Countless volunteers, trail advocates, and agency staff have contributed to the planning, construction, and maintenance of the trail over the years.
The completion of the final segment marks an important milestone for Prescott and recognizes the collective efforts of everyone who helped bring the vision to life.
Join us as we celebrate the accomplishment and the recreational opportunities the Prescott Circle Trail provides for our community.
