Neighborhood guide

Downtown Prescott centers on the historic Yavapai County Courthouse and its surrounding plaza, the heart of community life since 1864. Whiskey Row along Montezuma Street earned its name from the saloons and hotels that once lined the block—today featuring restaurants, bars, and shops. Gurley Street offers boutique shopping and galleries. The surrounding neighborhoods feature Victorian homes and tree-lined streets unique in Arizona. Prescott National Forest provides hiking, and Watson Lake offers stunning granite boulder landscapes.

Getting there from Scottsdale

A day run northwest from Scottsdale, booked by the hour

Prescott is the shortest of the out-of-town runs, which is why it works as a single day. The last stretch climbs and winds, and Whiskey Row is exactly the afternoon nobody should drive home from, so most groups hold the vehicle from pickup through the ride back.
