The Prescott National Forest offers over 450 miles of recreational trails for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and off-road adventures. Prescott is also a popular destination among golf enthusiasts. The town boasts some of the most affordable and beautiful golf courses in the state, and the mile high climate makes playing ideal. Downtown Prescott was built around its' historic Courthouse Plaza, and is filled with an array of great restaurants, quaint shops, boutiques and art galleries. Over 500 buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings, including The Palace Saloon on the infamous Whiskey Row, which is the same place where Doc Holiday and Wyatt Earp were served. The fun doesn't end when the sun goes down, either. Prescott has live music (everything from country to jazz,) along with theater and a wealth of fine restaurants. Special events are held in the town throughout the year, including a Bluegrass Festival in June and Frontier Days and the World's Oldest Rodeo in July.
