A Day Around Prescott

We hopped in the Jeep and headed to Prescott today. It was supposed to hit 100 degrees in Phoenix and only be in the 80's up north. Once we got to Prescott, we did a little shopping and had a nice lunch.

Then we headed south of Prescott on the Senator Highway and went at least 5 miles past where it turns to gravel. Due to a prescribed burn that got out of control earlier this week, they had the rest of the road up to Crown King closed. We took a couple smaller roads back east and then north before coming out near Lynx Lake. In the pictures below, you can see one place where we stopped to take a break.

After getting back to Prescott, we went to Cortez St. and spent some time looking through the antique shops before heading home.
