Historic Walkable Forest Mountains Festivals Events Shops Restaurants Entertainment

Tucked between the Prescott National Forest and Coconino National Forest, Prescott's landscape is stunning, from its rugged mountains to its red rocks. Downtown Prescott is just as inviting with its historic architecture and wide sidewalks lined with art galleries, boutiques, and restaurants. Downtown Prescott is very walkable, adorned with shade trees and sidewalk cafes. Thanks to its year-round great weather, Downtown Prescott offers year-round entertainment with several festivals and events. Some of these include the Mountain Artists Guild Fine Art & Wine Festival, the Prescott Rodeo Days Fine Art & Crafts Show, the Prescott Frontier Days Parade, Faire on the Square, and the Fine Art & Crafts Festival.

Downtown Prescott's "Whiskey Row" (named for the number of saloons that used to line the streets back in the 1800s) is considered the most historic section of the city. The Palace, which was built in 1870 and served such patrons as Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday, is still serving up drinks as Arizona's oldest frontier saloon. Whiskey Row is located along South Montezuma Street across from the Yavapai County Courthouse and the Courthouse Plaza. Other great destinations include the Sharlot Hall Museum, Smoki Museum, and Prescott National Forest -- home to 450 miles of hiking trails, campgrounds, and areas for fishing and boating.
