The Prescott Hiking Club is located in Prescott, Arizona. Hikes are offered for all ability levels several days per week; we also have monthly camping trips, and periodic picnics and parties. Members live in Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, and other Central Yavapai County areas. Dues are $5 per household, annually. Membership is open to anyone interested.

Special Events & Announcements

Driver Reimbursement

Rates for riders were revised as follows:

Mileage will no longer be included in the hike schedule. Each driver will be responsible for recording the trip distance.

 These changes apply to both scheduled Tues hikes and regular Thurs hikes.

Note: Because prices vary somewhat among stations, the Costco regular gas price is the benchmark.

Meeting Locations

We have been meeting for Fast Hikes at four locations:

  • Frontier Village, Prescott
  • Robert Road & 69, PV
  • Iron King Trail, PV
  • Safeway, Chino Valley

As of the January planning meeting, one more location is added:

  • Dennys at Iron Springs Road and Gail Gardner in Prescott.

Maps to all five locations are on the Schedule Page.
