Prescott Valley wildlife that occupies our desert grasslands is among the area's treasures. The valley is surrounded by the Prescott National Forest, which includes the Bradshaw Mountains to the south and Mingus Mountains to the north. The nearby forest is home to several threatened or endangered plant and animal species including the bald eagle, Gila monster, and the Arizona cliffrose. Herds of pronghorn roam the open meadows surrounding Prescott Valley, accompanied by jackrabbits, cottontails, and occasionally white-tailed deer.
