Wilhoit is a wide spot on Highway 89 south of Prescott, with the Bradshaw Mountains rising close by. Minnehaha Waters is the real hike of its two listed falls, two miles out and back at a moderate grade with 300 feet of climb. The Falls, generically named, takes a fifth of a mile. Both depend on runoff, so the weeks after mountain snow or a strong monsoon give the best show.

Located at 34.4082°N, -112.6156°W
