Welcome to Prescott, Arizona.
Prescott is a rapidly growing mountain town with old western mining roots. With its pleasant mild climate, it is a popular weekend destination for those escaping the desert heat of the Phoenix area. Built around a traditional courthouse square with many of the original building still standing, Prescott offers a look into the past with the popular Whiskey Row and other local attractions. Outdoor recreation is plentiful in the Prescott National Forest with mountain biking, hiking, camping and scenic drives. Prescott is located 100 miles north of Phoenix in the Central Arizona mountains. It is 90 miles southwest of Flagstaff. Hwys 89, 89a and 69 will all bring you right to town.

Prescott is down home friendly. The old-timer natives still call it 'Preskitt'. New residents and vacation visitors call it the cool summer escape from the hot weather in the desert cities. Emerging from its western mining roots, Prescott Arizona is a small town atmosphere that blends historical tradition with modern day amenity.
Just 90 miles north of Phoenix, Prescott and the Prescott Valley area offers all-year comfortable temperatures that average summer highs of 86 degrees. Along with its Prescott Valley and Chino Valley neighbors, Prescott Az features cool mountain pines, flowing meadows, mountain lakes, worldclass golf courses, panoramic views, wide-open spaces and fresh air. And wildlife abounds with frequent sightings of Pronghorn Antelope herds.
Prescott is all about atmosphere, beauty and outdoor recreation. Throughout the Prescott Valley, Chino Valley and Prescott area are an abundance of picturesque hiking and biking trails. The Prescott National Forest provides great scenic drives. Local lakes anchor great views with boating and fishing. The 55-acre Lynx Lake is surrounded by lush mountainous forest and miles of hiking trails. Canoeing is a popular attraction and the trout fishing delivers great family fun.
Prescott Arizona offers it all. Perfect climate, cultural heritage and the great outdoors. And convenient proximity to both big city shopping and diverse Arizona landscape. That's the attraction of Prescott Az and its Chino Valley and Prescott Valley neighbors. For the outdoor enthusiast there's great hiking, biking and horsebackriding in and around Prescott.
