Bug Hollow is a mountain biking route in the Verde Ranger District of Prescott National Forest in Arizona, managed by the Forest Service. The ride covers about 2.9 miles, climbing roughly 750 feet from a low point of 6,161 feet to a high of 6,842 feet. The steepest stretch comes at about 2.2 miles in, with a grade of about 21 percent. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Prescott show October highs around 73°F with lows near 40°F, and May highs around 76°F. That station sits well below the route, so temperatures on the climb run cooler. Trail #531 starts just 0.3 miles away, and Trail #550 and the Mescal route are each about half a mile off. For an overnight stay, Potato Patch Campground is about 0.5 miles from the route.
