Things To Do
Whiskey Row
Located in the Historic Downtown area, Whiskey Row is full of some of Prescott's oldest history. Whiskey Row developed after a fire in July of 1900 destroyed the entire block. When reconstructed, there was an inordinate amount of bars rebuilt in the area. At one point the block hosted a total of 40 saloons, hence the name "Whiskey Row". This high number of saloons was primarily due to the gold rush culture that drew all kinds of settlers, cowboys, prospectors, bawdy girls, gamblers, and even outlaws to the town. Nowadays, Whiskey Row is known for it's art galleries, candy shops, and of course its famous saloons. One stroll around this particular block would show you how full of life and history this town actually is!
Sharlot Hall Museum
The Sharlot Hall Museum is an open-air museum and heritage site located in Prescott, Arizona. Opened in 1928 by Sharlot M. Hall as the Gubernatorial Mansion Museum, the museum that now bears her name is dedicated to preserving the history and culture of the Central Highlands of Arizona.
Watson Lake
Located just 4 miles from Prescott, this beautiful bright blue lake is surrounded by granite boulders and hiking trails. Though swimming is prohibited, there are many other fun activities to do at Watson Lake including fishing, boating, kayaking, canoeing, rock climbing, hiking, and camping.
Bearizona Wildlife Park
This attraction is currently at the top of the Bride's Arizona Bucket List. Go ahead and just look how cute the animals are on their website!
Grand Canyon National Park
The South Rim is just a quick two hour drive from Prescott! It was also the destination of our first road trip together. Don't forget to check out the city of Flagstaff on the way for some amazing Navajo Tacos!
Sedona
Just under an hour and a half north of Prescott, Sedona offers beautiful scenery, a multitude of outdoor activities, and is known for its spiritual healing Vortex. Chris also had "one of the best sandwiches" of his life there....unfortunately neither of us can remember the name of the sandwich shop haha
