If you find yourself with a bit of extra time and you don’t mind traveling 35 miles, check out Prescott. This vibrant destination has plenty to keep you occupied. Whiskey Row, Watson Lake and Prescott Historic Downtown alone make the drive out worthwhile. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of Jerome, 60 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, let it be Verde Canyon Railroad. (But we’re also huge fans of Historic Old Town Cottonwood and Jerome State Historic Park.)
