UPCOMING ACTIVITIES-

WHAT: ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY WORKDAY

WHEN: NOW- WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 28TH, 2026

WHERE: HIGHWAY 89 IN WILHOIT (“BIG TREE” PARKING AREA EAST OF BURRO INN)

PTR will be picking up roadside litter again for our 1 mile section of Highway 89, close to the Burro Inn in Wilhoit.

We will stage at 9AM on Wednesday October 28th 2026 under the big tree just east of the Burro Inn on Hwy 89 in Wilhoit.

Take Hwy 89 south from the Courthouse Square for 15.8 miles, and the big tree will be on your left. If this is your first Adopt-A-Highway work day, please watch the linked ADOT safety video. Please wear appropriate clothing (hat, gloves, shades, and protective footwear). PTR will provide the garbage grabbers and trash bags. Coordinates: 34.42756430475699, -112.58201346037387

WHAT: PNF HOOT OWL 745 TRAIL CLEARING MINI-WORKDAY

WHEN: 8AM THURSDAY OCTOBER 29TH, 2026

WHERE: STAGE AT 7 MILE GULCH TRAILHEAD ON WALKER RD

We have the opportunity to assist the Prescott National Forest Trails team as they clear the sections of the Hoot Owl 745 trail where significant tree fall has the trail blocked. PNF will be sawing the down trees and volunteers would clear/swamp the trail following them.

The plan for Thursday August 29th is to meet at the 7 Mile Gulch Trailhead on Walker Road at 8am. After a brief meeting the plan will likely be to ride our bikes 2 miles south on Hoot Owl to the impacted area. Given the limited tasks planned, we’re not bringing the PTR tool trailer.

We ask that you bring your own water, sturdy gloves and either a hard hat or bicycle helmet for the trail work; and as always for our official workdays- long sleeves, long pants, boots, and eye protection. We expect the effort to last about 3 hours and should be done before lunch (on your own this workday.)

NOVEMBER 2026 MEETING

We hope that you will be able to join us at 6pm on Monday November 2nd 2026 for the Prescott Trail Riders Association November meeting. The monthly meeting will be held in the private dining/patio area at Buffalo Wild Wings in Prescott Valley.

Meeting topics include a recap of our October trail ride, highway 89 cleanup, and upcoming trail work and FSR 643 shooting area cleanup plans.

The 2026 PTR ID cards are available for those renewing their PTR membership for calendar year 2026. The new membership cards are being requested by our 2026 sponsors to unlock their great discounts. Buffalo Wild Wings has great food and drink available, so please come hungry and thirsty! We hope you will be able to join us.

Buffalo Wild Wings, 2985 Centre St., Prescott Valley.
