PRESCOTT - A COOLER HISTORIC ARIZONA - Palace Saloon
My late Uncle Rolf had a dream to move from Phoenix to Prescott, Arizona. He liked to tell me about the cooler climate and how his children and family be more likely to move from Michigan to Prescott because its four season climate was somewhat similar to Michigan (without the humidity). Unfortunately that dream never came to fruitions as he passed away in the mean time. Given those circumstances Barbara and I just had to go to Prescott and check it out. Join as as we make our very first visit to Prescott, Arizona.
Prescott is a city in Yavapai County, Arizona, United States. According to the 2010 Census, the population of the city is 39,843. The city is the county seat of Yavapai County.[8] In 1864 Prescott was designated as the capital of the Arizona Territory, replacing the temporary capital at Fort Whipple.[9] The Territorial Capital was moved to Tucson in 1867. Prescott again became the Territorial Capital in 1877, until Phoenix became the capital in 1889.
The towns of Prescott Valley, 7 miles (11 km) east; Chino Valley, 16 miles (26 km) north; Dewey-Humboldt, 13 miles (21 km) east, and Prescott, together comprise what is locally known as the Quad-City area.[10] This also sometimes refers to central Yavapai County in general, which would include the towns of: Mayer, Paulden, Wilhoit, and Williamson Valley. Combined with these smaller communities the area had a population of 103,260 as of 2007. Prescott is the center of the Prescott Metropolitan Area, defined by the U.S. Census Bureau as all of Yavapai County.
The Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe reservation is located adjacent to and partially within the borders of Prescott.
Prescott is in the Granite Creek watershed and contains the convergence of Miller Creek and Granite Creek on its north side.[11]
Prescott is 55 mi (89 km) west-northwest of the State of Arizona's geographic center.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 41.5 sq mi (107.5 km2), of which 40.7 sq mi (105.4 km2) is land and 0.81 sq mi (2.1 km2) is water.
Prescott is considered part of North Central Arizona. It is just south of the Granite Dells. The Granite Dells area, or often called ‘The Dells’, is known for its large boulder outcroppings of granite that have eroded into a spectacular appearance of bumpy rock features. Within 'The Dells[17]' are Watson and Willow Lakes, which are two small, man-made reservoirs. Here a number of hiking trails connect to the Peavine Trail.[18] The Peavine National Recreation Trail follows what was the former rail bed of the Santa Fe. This railroad traveled from Prescott to Phoenix through the Granite Dells. The “Peavine” got its name from the winding portion of this railroad that twists and curves, resembling the vine on which peas grow. The Peavine trail connects to the Iron King Trail, which was the route of the old Prescott Railroad through the Granite Dells. Natural lakes include Lynx, Granite Basin and Goldwater, all surrounding different areas of this rustic community. Goldwater Lake,[19] by Goldwater Park, is 4 miles (6.4 km) from downtown Prescott, has 15 acres (6.1 ha) of water surface, and is a popular destination for park recreation and picnic facilities. Lynx Lake[20] is another lake close to Prescott in tall ponderosa pines, and gets some 125,000 visitors every year. This 55-acre (22 ha) lake offers visitors recreational activities, boating, camping, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, picnicking and a small, seasonal restaurant with a view of the lake. Finally, there is the smallest of the natural lakes with 5 acres (2.0 ha) of surface water at Granite Basin[21] Lake. None of these lakes permits swimming, however all are popular recreational destinations near Prescott.
Granite Creek flows generally north from the Bradshaw Mountains through the city, the Granite Dells, and the Little Chino Valley to the Verde River.
Climate
Prescott is in the Bradshaw Mountains of central Arizona, at an elevation of 5,400 feet (1,600 m). The city has a Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csa); however, unlike most other locations in this climate class, there is a pronounced summer wet season due to the North American Monsoon.
Average annual precipitation for 1981–2010 was 17.75 inches (451 mm), with spring and early summer the driest times of the year.[22][23] Snowfall is typically light and snow cover usually melts away quickly; the 1981–2011 average seasonal total was 12.8 inches (33 cm).The largest portion of precipitation falls during the July–September monsoon season. Average daytime temperatures remain above 50 °F (10 °C) the entire year, but diurnal temperature variation is large throughout the year, averaging nearly 30 °F (17 °C) annually.[22][23] On average, temperatures reach 90 °F (32 °C) on 36 days annually, though 100 °F (38 °C)
There was a severe drought from 1999 to 2009, seen from the lack of snowpack in the Bradshaw Mountains.

Ranch Trail #62, Prescott National Forest, Arizona Hike
Hike on Ranch Trail #62 from Walker Road, to Upper Goldwater Lake on the Senator Highway, just south of Prescott, AZ. First part of hike was a short climb through a shrubby, old, burn area; the second through shaded pine forest with a surprising variety of flowers for so late in the season (especially at 6000+ feet altitude).
Btw, if you are wondering what that small, peach-like, berry is, it is an Oak Apple Gall Wasp ( ).

The run down the trail leading to Watson Lake Dam.
Heres a nice view of the winding, tight squeezing canyons, leading to an open area, nice small creek, and the bottom of the Watson Lake Dam. Your reward is a nice climb at the end with a spectacular view of the large granite boulders, the Dells, showing feet deep out into the waters edge. Absolutely beautiful...
Prescott wildlife includes Coyote
One of the many creatures that pass through our property, this coyote doesn't come into the city very often.

Pine Creek Trail #289, Big Bug Mesa, Hiking Arizona
Hiking Pine Creek Trail #289, from Pine Flat, AZ, up to Big Bug Mesa, in the Prescott National Forest. The highlight of the hike is great views across Turkey Creek and Five Corners towards Moscow Peak, Mount Union and Mount Davis. (At 7,979 ft. / 2418 m, Mount Union is the highest point in Yavapai County.) Note that topo maps show Trail #289 going straight up Pine Creek to the ruins; that is incorrect: There is no trail at all in that rocky, deadfall-strewn canyon. In fact, around Seaton Spring, Trail #289 turns west up to the Big Bug Mesa's rim near a small stone wall.
