Wally's Rest #710

Trail Description: Wally’s Rest begins off of Willy Nilly Tractor #707 and ends at a viewpoint. It is a short out and back hiking trail that leads to a nice viewpoint of Willow Creek Canyon. 

General Spence Basin Trails System Description: Completed in 2018 as part of the Greater Prescott Trails Plan, this 30-mile non-motorized system winds through the spectacular central Arizona highlands. Exposed slopes of chaparral and pinyon-juniper woodland are interspersed with shady groves of ponderosa pine offering loopy, hilly trails for all skill levels.

These trails are open to hikers, horseback riders, and mountain bicyclists. Please be considerate of other users; slow down and know when to yield the trail. Refrain from using horses and bikes when trails are wet. 

Camping – The nearest developed camping opportunities are Yavapai Campground (seasonal) and Alto Pit OHV Campground.
