Mile-high pines and Whiskey Row, two hours from Phoenix

Prescott sits a mile high in the pines — cooler than the desert, with a courthouse-square downtown anchored by the legendary Whiskey Row bars. Multiple public courses plus the upscale StoneRidge make it an easy, walkable buddy trip with serious nightlife for a small town.
