Prescott, Arizona is known for True West. Real Adventure. But what does it mean? Prescott was once the stomping grounds for cowboys of old, think Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday, strolling famous Whiskey Row, or running through on horseback. Because of its high desert terrain, it was a place to escape the heat of the Valley and enjoy cool nights, western sunsets, and a slower pace.

 

When you think of Arizona you don’t think of water, but Prescott is surrounded by three lakes. They brought the cowboys of old and now they bring outdoor enthusiasts from near and far. Visitors can explore hidden pockets by kayak, stand up paddle board, or canoe. Prescott is home to more than 400 miles of groomed trail system weaving in and around the lakes, the city square, museums, and more. Stroll for a mile or hop on a horse or mountain bike for a real adventure with unique landscape.
