R.R. Draw is a 6.5-mile out-and-back hike on natural surface in the Chino Valley Ranger District of Prescott National Forest in Arizona. The trail rises from 3,615 feet to 4,272 feet, a 770-foot climb. The Forest Service manages the surrounding land, and horses are allowed on the route. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable weather. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Jerome, at a similar elevation, show May highs around 78°F and October highs around 71°F, while July averages about 91°F. The trail stays open year-round, so plan for the season that suits you. For more time on foot in the district, Packard lies about 2 miles away and Parsons #122 about 2.6 miles. Sycamore Canyon and SOB Canyon are both within about 5 miles.
