PRESCOTT An Outdoor Enthusiast’s Delight

A quick glance at a map reveals how Prescott earned its reputation as a nature lover’s paradise. Nestled against the sprawling Prescott National Forest to the west and south, surrounded by the beauty of Tonto and Coconino National Forests to the east and boasting easy access to photogenic Watson Lake, this town is an Arizonan treasure.

Juniper, chaparral, as well as ponderosa and pinyon pines grace the mountains and rambling meadows of the region, which enjoys temperate weather the whole year yet still manages to have four distinct seasons. The bordering parks offer innumerable opportunities for hiking and trailblazing, all just a short distance from the charm of downtown.

Nearby Watson Lake is a favorite getaway for residents, though there’s little hustle and bustle to escape from in the quiet historic community. The lake and its park simply provide another opportunity to connect with nature while canoeing, rock climbing, picnicking, fishing and camping. Four-legged friends may even be invited along for the adventure, with over 350 acres of pet-friendly terrain to explore.

Prescott’s past is preserved along its pleasant tree-lined streets, particularly on Whiskey Row, a block of downtown featuring saloons galore – a nod to its 1860s Gold Rush culture. Today there are also shops, restaurants and galleries among the plethora of old-time taverns. Back when Prescott was an active hub for prospectors, cowboys and other colorful characters, it was also the capital when Arizona was just a territory. This role as the fi gurative heart of the Grand Canyon State is further refl ected in Prescott's literally central location.

Prescott continues to earn rankings as one of the best places to live in the entire state of Arizona. And if residents ever happen to fi nd a reason to roam past the community’s picturesque avenues or beyond the peace of Watson Lake, humming Phoenix is less than 100 miles south of Prescott, as is Flagstaff to the northeast. Side trips to scenic Sedona or the quaint towns of Jerome and Camp Verde are also just a short drive away.
