Oct 09, 2021 — Mount Union can be access from a few different directions, and with a burly enough vehicle you can drive to nearly the summit. The longer approach from the south via the Yankee Doodle Trail sounded more appealing, but the drive on reportedly bad dirt roads deterred me. Instead I chose to get to the peak via the Dandrea Trail. It's a bit of a drive from Prescott, Arizona along good dirt roads to access the trailhead. There's only room for a few cars, otherwise you'll be parking along the narrow road next to residential driveways.
I sarted east along the trail, which was just an old converted road. Keep right at the couple of trail (road) junctions as you ascend. The hike narrowed into a trail eventually as it made small switchbacks up to the northeastern ridge of Mount Union. From here a short hike along the pretty Yankee Doodle Trail continued south and up to the summit. Mount Union has a closed-off fire tower, but the views are still nice.
