The drive to this trailhead is very easy, paved roads almost all the way, just about any car and any truck can make this trip

Drive through the Prison Camp campground and to the trailhead

Some shots of the trailhead

This trail rises a bit out of the trailhead, over a draw and drops into Molino Basin. It meets the campground road then parallels it and terminates a few hundred yard west of Mt Lemmon Hwy and the Molino campground Road. There are plenty of places to park at either end of this trail. It's a casual to medium hike stating high and dropping down if you have two cars or someone to drop you off. For a more strenuous hike start low and hike up. if you walked from out house at one camp to outhouse at the other camp and back again to where you started it would be about a 5 mile hike

Looking approx east at Molino Basin and the campground below. Mt Lemmon highway climbs up along the hillside to the left (north)

Ruts in the trail from mountain bikes and some of the isolated shade to be found along the trail

Some of the nice water bars on the trail. These are impressive and took a lot of work to install. They look to be doing a good job too. Some bikes are cutting ruts, but other than that this trail is in good condition

 

Some shots with the trail less obvious to show the beauty of the area
