Yeager Cabin is a moderate out-and-back hike in the Verde Ranger District of Prescott National Forest in Arizona, about 3.4 miles long with a total elevation gain of 567 feet. The trail rises from a low point of 6,622 feet to a high of 7,246 feet, and the Forest Service manages the land. The route is natural-surfaced and open to both horses and bikes, so riders and pack animals can join the walk. It works year-round, and the trail is listed as open season round the clock. Two mountain biking routes, Little Yeager Canyon Trail #533 and Yeager Cabin Trail #111, sit about 0.8 miles away. Yeager Mine is a hike roughly 1.1 miles off, and Playground Campground (Mingus) is about 2.4 miles away for an overnight stay.
