Box T Trail is a long route in the Prescott National Forest, listed at 10.36 miles. It is managed by the Verde Ranger District and numbered 0511.

It is rated trail class 2, a basic path without much construction. Allowed uses are wide: hiking, horseback riding, bicycles and all terrain vehicles. Because motorized and quiet users share the same tread, expect company. Ask the Verde Ranger District about conditions and closures before you go.
