Still cold, about 8 degrees C, as we head out to explore Prescott.
Prescott was once a very rough town and original capital of the Arizona territory and it home to the World's Oldest Rodeo. A lot of outlaws hung around here. It is famous for Whiskey Row which houses saloons once patronized by legends like Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday (the gunfighter not the pitcher). There were several gunfights on Whiskey Row back in the day.
On the way out of town towards Jerome we discovered cool rocky hills. There are hiking paths all through them. The weather has warmed up considerably so we went for a walk. Can't you just see outlaws hanging around out here?
The road into into Jerome. Ya, I know. We were here a few days ago. But we did not know about this awesome road. Hills, trees, hairpins turns and lots to look at. Totally different from the drive out of Winslow. The proprietor of the Red Garter Inn told us that if we had time this is well worth the drive. We had the time and she was not wrong. Ten miles took us about half an hour because of the curves.

After a hearty lunch at the Mile High Saloon in Jerome we headed back towards Phoenix. The temperature is finally warm enough that we wore shorts and t-shirts to walk to dinner.
