With trailsnail, in a national forest just outside of the Prescott city limits. Raining moderately, which changed to wet snow while we were running. We took a look at a trail that more or less paralleled the road, and decided it looked a bit too rocky for our comfort, so we decided to run on the road. Then, after a bit, we saw a way to the trail which at that point didn't look terrible. We had to ford a small stream that most of the year, I suspect, is no issue at all, but with all the snow and rain they've had lately, it took a little looking around before finding two nicely placed small boulders to hop over on. We ran down the trail for around 0.3 miles and then there was another stream crossing; at this point, we weren't able to find a way of crossing that we were comfortable with, so we turned around and went back the way we came.
