Prescott,
Arizona is home to some of the most amazing natural beauty to be
found in Arizona and is a hub of Arizona history, tradition, art
and culture. Surrounded by breathtaking landscape and one of the
nation's largest ponderosa pine forests, Prescott is a must see
for the outdoors person. Five crystal clear area lakes provide
loads of kayaking, canoeing and fishing opportunities.
Prescott's
Courthouse Plaza is the pivot around which the town was
designed and built. Today quaint boutiques, fantastic restaurants
and an eclectic array of galleries featuring local, regional and
national artists surround this famous landmark.
From the
World's Oldest Rodeo to the mile-high golf courses,
Prescott Arizona has something for everyone to see or do: antique
shops, art galleries, museums, casinos, mini-golf, hiking, fine
dining or just people watching at the historic, downtown.
Many
of the old buildings such as the Yavapai County Courthouse, the
Palace - Arizona's oldest restaurant and saloon, and the first
Territorial Governor's Mansion have been preserved with great
care. Beautifully restored Victorian homes with carefully
manicured lawns line quiet, shaded streets, and are among the more
than 500 buildings on the National Historic Register.
