Prescott National Forest Bradshaw Ranger District 928 443-8000 http://www.fs.fed.usda.gov/prescott/ JAVELINA #332 GENERAL INFORMATION: The Javelina Trail #332 is part of the 50 mile Prescott Circle trail. TR 332 rises and falls over the hilly terrain of Arizona’s central highlands. Exposed slopes of chaparral and pinyon-juniper woodland are interspersed with shady groves of ponderosa pine where a variety of bird calls can be heard ringing out from among the trees. There are nice views of Thumb Butte and Granite Mountain—Prescott’s most prominent landmarks. TR 332 is notable because it provides a route between these two features. TR 332 follows a portion of the old Santa Fe railroad grade, just past a locked gate. CAUTION: this trail is open to hikers, horseback riders and mountain bicyclists. Please be considerate of others— slow down and know when to yield.
