There is no question that several factors make the Prescott region an excellent place to live and build homes. The higher altitude brings wonderful, clear weather, the Desert Mountains give amazing panoramic views, and the natural resources provide all the necessities to sustain life. The geology of Northern Arizona has combined to create a prime location for living.
Living in the desert brings to mind dry, arid heat, but in the case of the Prescott National Forest region, that is not the case. Of course, the sun does shine most days and humidity is low, but heat and sparse cactus are not the case at a 5,000 foot elevation. When plates pushed the Bradshaw Mountains to such heights, a new, friendly environment was formed. Temperatures drop rapidly about 15 or more degrees as you make the short trip north and climb out of the valley, making Prescott an ideal area for living year round.
Naturally, the change in elevation impacts the vegetation, wildlife, and minerals as well. Ponderosa pines dominate the landscape with some juniper and plenty of green bushes and grass filling in the remaining space. There are many types of wildlife throughout the area including larger animals such as elk or even the occasional cougar. The minerals of the area are rich and varied due to past geologic upheaval. Many of the Prescott area’s rivers were mined for gold years ago as well as other metals and minerals. Much of the land is now protected to retain its natural beauty.
Since the formation of the mountains is steep and fast, the views created keep the land a prime place for homes, vacations, and site seeing. There are so many panoramic scenes, they could never be counted. When you wander out of the trees, you will be awed by the miles of rocks, canyons, and peaks that appear.
The issue of water in the desert is another area in which geology has impacted Prescott. Years ago, shifts and upheaval led to a huge water basin reserve just beneath the land. The Big Chino basin makes fresh, clear water readily available for the community. Rarely will you discover a place in the arid regions that drilling a private well for a home is so easy and sure to work. The supply is just one more reason that people are checking out a move to the Prescott Mountains.
