Middle Trail

Butterfly Trail runs 1.59 miles near Jerome, in the Verde Ranger District of Prescott National Forest. It is trail number 0536. The typical grade is 10 to 12 percent, steep for a trail this short, so the climbing is concentrated rather than gradual. It is class 3, on native material. Hiking, horses and bicycles are the listed uses. Short and steep is a useful shape to know about: it fits in a morning, but it is not an easy stroll. Trailhead parking details are not posted, so check with the district office before you drive up.

West Rim Trail runs 1.04 miles on native dirt near Jerome, Arizona, with a grade between 12 and 20 percent. It is short but steep, so the effort per mile is high. Bicycles, horses and people on foot are all permitted. Trail class 2 describes the tread: a basic path, kept passable rather than smooth. The route number is 0538, and the Verde Ranger District of the Prescott National Forest looks after it. Since it is brief, many people join it to a longer loop. Ask the district office about conditions, closures and fire restrictions before you drive out to the trailhead.
