PRESCOTT, Ariz. — Local animal rescue organization United Animal Friends has announced its upcoming Hike for Hounds Fall Festival 2026, scheduled to take place on Saturday, November 7, in Prescott.
The outdoor fundraising gathering will run from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the UAF Rescue Ranch, located at 2600 Heckethorn Road, Prescott, AZ 86301. The day’s schedule invites participants to hike a portion of the scenic Peavine Trail starting directly from the UAF Rescue Ranch grounds.
