Equestrians should go left to the low-water crossing over Quail Creek, while hikers and cyclists should go right to cross over a small pedestrian foot-bridge.
Turn right onto the Prospector Trail and then continue 580 feet to reach the Quail Creek Trail.
From the Anasazi Trailhead:
The Anasazi Trail begins on the east side of the Red Cliffs Campground loop across the street from campsite 11. Follow the trail 1,200 feet to the Quail Creek Trail.
For most of the route the Quail Creek Trail runs parallel to Quail Creek through a shaded riparian area of cottonwoods and willows.
