The trail north of highway 69 is still used as a cattle driveway. The trail ends at the Prescott National Forest boundary.The Black Canyon National Recreation Trail was originally designed as a livestock driveway. Many segments of the trail roughly parallel the old Black Canyon stagecoach road between Phoenix and Prescott.
