History
Most of all, you will enjoy genuine Western hospitality, heritage, tradition and an outdoor lifestyle that makes Prescott the “Best Destination in Arizona for Nature Lovers,” according to Expedia Viewfinder. PRESCOTT, ARIZONA was first settled with the discovery of gold in Granite Creek. The City was founded in 1864. President Abraham Lincoln named Prescott the first Territorial Capital of Arizona, a distinction the City held from 1864-67 and again from 1877-1889. In 1891, Prescott became the Yavapai County Seat, and it remains so to this day. In 1888 Prescott held its first rodeo. To this day, it is known as the World’s Oldest Rodeo. In 1900, a fire leveled the infamous Whiskey Row bars, and the county courthouse.
Ame Ranc
Notable figures from Prescott’s past include Doc Holiday and his mistress, Big Nose Kate, who frequented the Palace and other Whiskey Row establishments. Senator Barry Goldwater hailed from Prescott. His family owned a general merchandise store on Cortez Street in the downtown, and their name is still on the building. Western history is not all Prescott has to offer. Prescott is nestled in the central highlands of Arizona, at a mile-high elevation. The city is surrounded by the 1.25 million acre Prescott National Forest, and boasts five lakes, and over 450+ miles of trails.

More than 360 species of birds inhabit the area. The Prescott Audubon Society www.prescottaudubon.org can provide full details about where to go and when.
Prescott has Water & Parks If you like water activities, you’ll enjoy the three local lakes —Willow and Watson lakes are on the northwest edge of the City. The third is Goldwater. Maintained by the City of Prescott, the 15-acre Goldwater Lake is located in lush pine forests surrounded by rugged mountain areas. The City of Prescott has kayak, canoe and paddle board rentals available www.prescottoutdoors.com, 928.925.1410. Two others—Lynx Lake and Granite Basin Lake—are just outside the City limits. If you like kayaking and canoeing— and fishing—you can visit any of these lakes. Of course, all have picnicking and camping sites. Want to spend time in a park? The City boasts 16 of them, all with amenities that guarantee memorable times. Some are purely recreational—walking and exercising and picnicking. Others are specialized. Some are athletic parks—softball, baseball, soccer, tennis, pickleball, basketball, skateboards, rink skating and the like. One in particular— McCasland Willow Creek Park features one of only four in the U.S. custom-created Dog Parks. Canines are the most welcome visitors. A complete list with locations is available on the City website www.prescott-az.gov/services/parks.

here's a warm, welcoming feeling wherever you roam the historic downtown area. Locals will greet you with genuine smile and “Nice to see you.” In the
center of town, looming large over a plaza ringed by century-old trees is the much photographed granite Courthouse. It’s the focal point for many festivals and events from late April through October.
A Special Place DESIGNATED AS ARIZONA’S CHRISTMAS CITY, during winter months, the area around the Courthouse is home for unequaled holiday festivities. You won't want to miss any of them. Festivities begin in late November. The first is the colorful Holiday Light Parade, where elaborate decorated floats and holiday music will have you smiling. Ultimately, you may wind up at the community bonfire, just up the street at Mile High Middle School. Then the first week of December features the colorful daytime Christmas Parade, with more than 100 entries. It involves almost everyone in town. If you’re lucky enough to be here in early December, you’ll beam when the Yavapai County Courthouse Plaza lights turn the dark into a kaleidoscope of 59

holiday colors. This year will be the 66th annual lighting. You’ll join local students, townspeople and visitors in singing traditional Christmas carols. Just up the street two blocks, you’ll enjoy a Frontier Christmas staged by the Sharlot Hall Museum. You’ll be transported back to how pioneers celebrated Christmas. 100+ local musicians – students, local musicians, churches, the community and visitors- during the melodious Acker Musical Showcase the second week of December. Businesses downtown open doors to performers, who sing, play instruments and entertain – and invite you to join in. Don’t miss these other Christmas Events – Wild Lights & Animal Sights at Heritage Park Zoo, The Gingerbread Village at the Prescott Resort, Enchanted Christmas, and Storytellers at Museum of Indigenous People. 60

Invest Your Healthcare Dollars Wisely!
Overall Patient Satisfaction 9.9 out of 10!
Over the past 31 years 114,000 procedures have been successfully performed at POSC, saving patients more than $160 million! Of that amount, $21 million would have been out of pocket expenses.
“When I need surgical help, I will always come here. My phone call from Karen was a real delight. When I saw her in recovery I told her she sounded like a song. My anesthesiologist was just great and took time with my questions. I really liked my visit!”
The choice is yours. Choose one of our excellent Prescott based surgeons for your outpatient surgical needs and you will not only save money, but will have the best possible environment and care available.

“Thank you for all the great care you gave me, everyone was awesome made me feel like I was the most important person in there! Thank you all so very much for taking care of me.” “This was my 2nd surgery at POSC in 2 months. Both times I received excellent care. Everyone was professional, courteous and all had a great sense of humor. I cannot think of any area that needs improving as I feel 10’s were to be given to everyone there.”

Not looking forward to the process, we were pleasantly surprised to discover a very nice person in Conrad.
Finding Prescott is both a podcast and a web site, so you can listen to the interviews, or you can read the transcripts, if you prefer.
He is a very gentle, knowledgeable, professional that was extremely respectful of our wishes and always available to answer any questions we had along the way, and there were many.
The Finding Prescott podcast is available wherever you listen to your podcasts.
Anyone would be in good hands with Conrad. He is a refreshing personality and a very thorough professional in these uncertain and stressful times.

Jerome
A Verde Valley excursion wouldn’t be complete without a journey up the hill to Jerome, the “City in the Sky.” Once a thriving mining camp of 15,000, Jerome acquired “ghost town” status by the 1960s. Today, entrepreneurs have restored many of the quaint buildings that cling to the mountainside and the town now dishes out artsy boutiques and panoramic views in equal measure.

Sedona
Speaking of views, Sedona’s stark, giant, red rock formations are so compelling, they cause grown men to take up painting or poetry. Toss in dozens of superb shops, galleries, restaurants and recreational opportunities, and Sedona has found a magical elixir.
