Fast Facts About Prescott, Arizona:
Prescott draws crowds to its evergreen mountains, granite cliffs, and alpine lakes around town. Tony Fanelli, of Sedona Bike & Bean, chalks it up to the varied landscape. "We’ve got three stages of riding all within an hour’s drive," he says. "True desert, red rocks, and that high Rockies pine." North of Phoenix, saguaro cacti give way to evergreens and a silent expanse of volcanic mountains (notably the 12,000-foot San Francisco Peaks) stretches across the horizon. North America’s largest ponderosa pine forest is up here, and so is some of the best mountain biking in the country.
