Daniels Ridge is a 2.8-mile out-and-back hike in Arizona's Prescott National Forest, within the Bradshaw Ranger District. The trail climbs about 318 feet from a low of roughly 5,700 feet to a high of about 6,180 feet, and it is rated moderate. The Forest Service manages the land. The trail has a natural surface and is open year-round. Bikes are allowed. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Prescott run to highs around 76°F in May and 73°F in October, while July highs average about 90°F. That station sits roughly 1,000 feet below the ridge, so temperatures on the trail run cooler. Crystal Springs and Little Wolf Creek are both within 2 miles. For camping, the Enchanted Forest Trail designated dispersion site is about 8 miles away, and Hilltop Campground (AZ) is about 9 miles away.
