Prescott, Arizona

On Tuesday (10/26) we left Yuma for the cooler hills of Prescott (Preskit if you know the local jargon). We had looked forward to this stop as we had heard many good things about the town. A one day stay certainly is not enough to write a review for travel books. So, to be kind, I will focus on the one highlight of the trip- biking.

Prescott has many mountain biking options, especially for people such as me...who don't really like jumping rocks and logs. I tend to end up in the sagebrush if the trail is at all technical. Prescott also has many miles of expert riding too. We opted for an easy cruise by Willow and Watson Lakes extending our tour on the Peavine and Iron King Trails. The two trails were reclaimed from the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix Railway. These and other trails encompass the city creating a 50 mile loop.

Most of you know us well enough to understand that if the food was not the highlight of our Prescott experience, you can safely predict that we will never move there. We asked a wine shop owner where he recommended eating and he responded, "Sedona."

Watch for our next post from Sedona.
