  Yavapai County is located in the central region of Arizona. It is a land of deep character and changing terrain. Prickly Pear dot the slopes of the desert lowlands and willowy aspen shimmer in the cool mountain air. Views are far-reaching capped by clear blue skies. Prehistoric remains of the Sinaguan people are tucked into sandstone ledges and prominent hilltops. You’ll find ghost towns and remnants of a mining heyday hidden in rocky canyons and forested mountainsides. Area lakes are nestled in the pines surrounded by thousands of miles of hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails. Prescott was Arizona’s first territorial capital.
Check out our listing of area festivals and signature events. We’ve also included links to community pages so you can plan your visits in more detail.
Arcosanti, the Prescott area, Jerome, and Sedona are great venues for stage shows and theater when on vacation in Arizona. The saloons of historic Whiskey Row in Prescott rock the rooftops with a range of country-oldtime rock and roll. Come on up to Yavapai on day trips or vacation! Clean air, the best climate in Arizona, and central mountain hospitality. |
