Beautiful spot, clean trail. Please make sure if you park in the lot to buy a $3 pass cash or card by the restrooms so that you avoid a fine.

This place is really cool and they have recently updated the parking lot and added really nice restrooms with running water. You now have to pay $3.00 to park, however it is totally worth it and your parking passes work at many other places around town. The trails here are FANTASTIC and are moderate. I recommend this trail to anyone.

Fun walking around the rocks.Trails go every which way, without anyway to know which is which. Might be a problem if you need to get back in a hurry

Great trail. Our 4 yr old was able to do entire perimeter trail along with our 2 dogs. And still was challenging enough for our two 14 yr olds.

Nature is always 5 stars. Big parking lot with bathroom. Trails go thru the rocky dells...so lots of big step ups. Most trails are not too strenuous.

I really loved this trail, mainly for all the rock formations that you get to move amongst. There are easy options and more strenuous options but its hard to know which are which. At times the trail is hard to follow but thats part of the fun! Parking is $3 and the parking lot is right off of 89.

One of our favorite local places to hike! We try to get here 2 or 3 times a week. Great place for amateur bouldering with great views of Willow Lake from Big Rock

The Dells is an amazing hike with statue-like rock formations which we call the rock people!

Great trail system. Lots of choices for different hikes and skill levels.

Review №18

My favorite hike in the area. Very cool scenery and easy-going trails. My pups just love it here. Clean trail, and probably 99 percent of dog walkers pick up their dogs waste, so that is a plus.

Review №19

Great trail system, with some technical sections, hefty climbs, and some fun descents. The views at the top are amazing, well worth the trip, especially during sunset!

Review №20

Nice open space with several trails to take on foot, bike or horseback.

Review №21

Great opportunity to take a short or long hike, it would be pretty hard to get lost and the terrain is really fun, almost like very light bouldering. Facilities at the parking lot are great as well, and the fee is worth it, especially since its very cheap

Review №22

The constellation trail, while pretty, is like a spider web of small trails that seem to make things more confusing than they should be, some of which take only 5 minutes or less to walk. This trail also suffers from the fact that nearly the whole time you are ear shot from the 89 highway and even visible from some of the higher points. This is a very mild hike, suitable for kids or small dogs if you want a quick walk. I wouldnt recommend it to anyone looking to get away from the whoosh of cars on the neighboring road or just the nature of such a trail being so high traffic.

Fantastic trail system for the casual hiker! You could cover all the trails in a single day, but why not take your time and save some for another day? Dont get lost in the rocks---follow the white dots

Nice hike with different trails and beautiful views. They have benches if you want to stop. Parking is $3 and they have bathrooms. only bad thing is there are a lot of mosquitos.

Review №34

Very quick hike round trip, great for workouts. Bikers like part of the trail but it does get really tough for them at times because of the terrain. Nice views, keep to the white dots that mark the trail, gets a bit confusing sometimes.

Review №37

I had a couples photoshoot and I took them out here. The trails are really pretty and has lots of historic places to check out. Leads to rocks to hike but stayed in the greener, shady area for this shoot. Be prepared to climb rocks and bring lots of water, especially in the summer time. Make sure you bring some kind of bug spray, lots of mosquitoes through the beginning of the trail. Very historic place to check out!

Great trail for families with children. A series of trails that covers a some what small area. Great views and easily accessible that is a great way to escape to nature close to town.

Va
Review №45

Love this trail. There are so many options, with cross cuts so you can do the whole outer loop, and finish, or do all the cross cuts and make it even longer. Met a lot of nice people on the trail, everyone seems to care about the trail and we didnt see a lot of dog owners NOT cleaning up after their pets. Restrooms in the parking lot. $3 to park and they take cash or card.

When I have an hour to hike, I head to the Constellation Trail. Some of the best views of the Granite Dells rock formations and a very well marked spider web of trails so you cant get lost and never get bored hiking in the area. Thanks to the City of Prescott and the Over the Hill Gang of volunteers, the trails are well maintained and there is a map at every intersection. The new traffic circle and parking lot are a nice addition. Remember to pick up after your dog!

The trail markers arent the best. Didnt know the starting point had so many different directions, not having been here before. I had to use my All Trails app to get us back on track. We did however enjoy the scenery. We will be going back. Saw hikers on the way back down and they gave us recommendations on how to start and end hike. Maybe next time I could rate better.
