Apple Blossom is a short, easy hike in Arizona's Bradshaw Ranger District, about a mile from the community of Juniper Heights. The trail is an out-and-back of roughly 2.6 miles, with a low point of 5,544 feet and a high of 5,742 feet, and it gains about 180 feet of elevation. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is natural-surfaced, with bikes allowed. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from the nearby Prescott weather station show May highs around 76°F and October highs around 73°F, while July and August average about 90°F with more wet days.
