Overview

Located in central Arizona's Prescott National Forest, Squaw Peak provides access to one of the area's highest promontories with amazing views. Along the way are good campsites, a juniper forest peppered with stately century plants, and a small seasonal stream with cottonwoods and sycamores. The summit provides an unparalleled view of central Arizona and the Verde River basin. There's also great cell phone reception at the top, courtesy of the massive antennae farm. The first 5 miles of the road are also part of the Great Western Trail that runs from Arizona to Montana.
