Entering the Circle trail from Watson Lake

Previously, I had mentioned about the Circle trail in Prescott, Arizona, and my attempt to find an entry point that led me to riding Goldwater instead. After that great morning ride, I head on over to Watson Lake to find another entry point of this 45 mile loop around the city.

The entry point here was much easier to spot, as it was right out of the parking lot. Watson Lake is a beautiful…

Weekends are for one thing and one thing only, EXPLORING. After sitting on my rear from 8-5, Monday through Friday it just makes sense to see what the world holds beyond  the office walls. Not to mention the impending Thanksgiving weight gain, its never too early to start working towards that spring break bod...right ladies!? 

Devan and I decided to keep our hike local this weekend and took the 5 minute drive to our favorite place in Prescott, Watson Lake. Watson Lake is home to the notorious Granite Dells, which look like they’re straight out of Jurassic Park or something. We paid the small entrance/parking fee and headed towards the  “Circle Trail.”

The trailhead started overlooking Watson Lake and the dells, and eventually led us down to the water. We took this opportunity to wander off the marked trail and climb the dells in order to see the lake from a different view. 

Compared to the hikes we’ve been taking lately, this one was cake. The ease of the hike paired with the perfect weather and views made for a spectacular Saturday afternoon.
