Experience Prescott

Arizona has more than desert views and Prescott is a beautiful reminder.

Here, Granite Mountain rises beyond green trees and fields of wildflowers, creating a side of Arizona you might not expect. Find a quiet place to take in the view, stay for sunset and give yourself a little extra time to enjoy the scenery.

Save this for the next time you’re ready to see a different side of Arizona.

Fall color in Prescott never follows a perfect calendar, which is part of the fun. Check current conditions, start with a walk around town and leave room to follow the color toward nearby trails and scenic roads. Wherever you find it, enjoy the view without leaving the trail or damaging vegetation.

Save this reminder and check conditions before you go.

If you need a quieter kind of Prescott afternoon, Granite Basin Lake is a good place to start.

Pack a picnic, take in the view and give yourself time to enjoy the granite peaks reflected across the water. You don’t need a packed itinerary; sometimes the best plan is to find a beautiful place and stay awhile.

Check current conditions before you go, respect posted guidelines and pack out everything you bring with you.
