The Peavine Trail runs north-south for 5.7 miles on the eastern side of Chino Valley, offering a hike of moderate intensity. Peavine Trail occupies an abandoned railroad bed with a gently sloping cinder surface. The trail offers views of several mountain ranges, including Mingus Mountain, the Bradshaws, and Granite Mountain.

From the trailhead, the trail extends north 1.7 miles to Road 4 North; or south 4 miles across high desert, where native vegetation and wildlife abound. Herds of pronghorn antelope are often seen along the trail. Just north of Perkinsville Road lies the Jerome Junction historic site. Jerome Junction was a point at which trains from the East carrying men and equipment were switched to narrow-gauge track to complete the journey to the Jerome mines from 1895 through 1920.
