Itinerary

Prescott
Prescott is a charming historic town in central Arizona known for its rich Old West heritage, scenic mountain landscapes, and relaxed small-town atmosphere. Once the territorial capital of Arizona, Prescott features beautifully preserved Victorian architecture, vibrant local culture, and a lively downtown centered around the iconic Whiskey Row, famous for its saloons, shops, and nightlife.
Sharlot Hall Museum
Sharlot Hall Museum is a renowned history museum that brings Arizona’s territorial past to life. Located in downtown Prescott, the museum is set across a beautiful campus featuring historic buildings, including the original Governor’s Mansion—the first permanent structure in the Arizona Territory.
Museum of Indigenous People
Smoki Museum is a unique cultural museum dedicated to preserving and interpreting the heritage of Native American tribes of the Southwest. Located in Prescott, this museum offers a rich collection of artifacts, including pottery, textiles, tools, and ceremonial items that reflect the traditions and daily life of Indigenous communities.
Whiskey Row
Whiskey Row is the historic heart of downtown Prescott and one of the most iconic remnants of the Old West. Lined with saloons, restaurants, and shops, this lively street once hosted over 40 bars during the late 1800s, serving cowboys, miners, and gamblers.
As the tour wraps up, you leave the cooler mountain air and Victorian charm of Prescott behind, trading the historic brick facades of Whiskey Row for the sweeping highway vistas of Central Arizona. The drive back to Scottsdale serves as the perfect unwind after a day packed with pioneer history and Indigenous culture.
