We have had enough of the walking and hiking so today we got the bikes ready for a Rails to Trails ride on the Peavine and Iron King trails. The rails were mostly runs to mining communities around Prescott but then they were bought by SF P&P Rail - Santa Fe, Phoenix and Prescott. They were all closed in the early 1900’s. I’m not sure when then lines were turned into walking and biking trails but they are pretty nice. The Peavine parallels Watson Lake and the Granite Dells before going into the prairies. We then back tracked and rode on the Iron King line, again into the grasslands but they left evidence of the mining runs this train made by leaving old ore cars and engines along the trail. We rode almost 18 miles today.
We did some grocery shopping this morning and found ‘the world’s smallest’ Whole Foods store but they had dry-aged beef so that made up for no sushi bar.
