There is a full bathroom and water fountain at this ending so you should be good to fill up for the return trip. This should be around a 7 mile ride one way so make sure you have plenty of water for you adventure. if you continue on the main trail you will go all the way to Hwy 89a. The trail will move forward and you'll have access to the back side of Watson Lake and some amazing views between the boulders, this will continue and you'll wind up coming to the Pevine trail-head. Once you get past the houses and actually on the trail it's quite lovely, rolling grasses and beautiful Glassford Hill to start out then you will come up to the giant boulders and follow that into a bountiful boulder paradise to enjoy and take photo's. (you can still park at the trail-head but you have to ride your bike up the Santa Fe road till it ends then cross the road and follow the sidewalk to the trail). The reddish-colored scoria fist-sized particles makes an excellent decorative stone, aggregate, and, in Flagstaff, it’s added to icy and snowy roads to provide traction for cars. The photos in this gallery are from my most recent trip- and I also put together a video that is on my You Tube Channel.Starting out in Prescott Valley can be a bit tricky as there building new homes in the area so the trail actually starts up the Santa Fe road and not at the intersection. The resulting cinder cone is typically 1000 feet high and one-half mile in diameter at the base. There is approximately 13,000 acres to ride on some roads are twisty, some are straight, and others have plenty of whoops (which are a blast if you’ve never been on these before). I personally prefer this for safety reasons, but it’s a great place to go with a big group of friends and ride as well. I went on a Friday, so there were hours that went by with only seeing one or two other OHV’s.

Though deicer salt is traditionally used in such.
#THE CINDERS FLAGSTAFF DRIVERS#
Flagstaff residents are all too familiar with the complications that ice covered roadways and snowy sidewalks inflict on drivers and pedestrians. Cinders are produced by places such as Coconino Cinders as seen here March 8. I thought this had a Mad Max feeling to it- parts of it are desolate looking, but with Ponderosa pine forests spread throughout the entire park. Cinder cones are used by NAU to help reduce the effects of ice on roads. I have ridden in numerous places throughout AZ and at this time, Cinder Hills is my favorite! If you are looking for a fun and unique place to ride your OHV- then Cinder Hills OHV Area (Flagstaff, Arizona) is an excellent choice! Cinder Hills is part of the Coconino National Forest and is a very popular place in this area for off highway enthusiasts.
