Welcome to Prescott Trail Riders

Welcome to the 2025 Prescott Trail Riders Web Portal.  PTR membership is now calendar-year based going forward.

These changes require each club member to renew/acquire their 2025 membership to obtain a 2025 PTR membership card which will be available at the February (or subsequent) 2025 club meetings. 

The new membership program and cards have been implemented to enable the very favorable discounts our sponsors are offering and to simplify membership management. The 2025 membership dues are $20 if paid by cash or check (or $21 if paid online). Please click this link to go directly to our membership renewal page.

DIRECTIONS TO STAGING LOCATION:  Go west on Iron Springs Rd for 7.0 miles from the Iron Springs/Williamson Valley Rd intersection.  Turn right onto Contreras Rd and go north for 0.8 miles.  The Contreras trailhead will be on your right where the PTR trailer will be parked.

You will need your motorcycle to travel roughly a mile to where the significant brushing work, and some drainage, is needed.  Alternatively, there is room to park a couple of vehicles along the powerline right of way, and hike in to work from there (we’ll also use that to get tools in a truck or ATV closer to the work areas.)

Bring your own water for the trail.  Lunch will be provided by PTR!
