Bruce Brockett is an easy, out-and-back hike of about 1.8 miles in the Red Rock Ranger District of Coconino National Forest in Arizona, managed by the Forest Service. The trail has a natural surface and climbs about 123 feet one way, from a low point of roughly 3,882 feet to a high of about 4,044 feet. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Montezuma Castle show April highs around 79°F with lows near 40°F, and October highs near 82°F with lows around 43°F. That station sits several hundred feet lower than the trail, so expect temperatures up high to run a little cooler. Long Canyon and the V Bar V Trail #94 are both within a mile of the trail, and the Crane Entry mountain biking route is about 0.9 miles away. For climbing, Wet Beaver Crack lies about 3.3 miles off.
