Location & Transportation

Nestled in the central mountains of Arizona, Prescott stands as the largest city within Yavapai County. Neighboring towns include Chino Valley, Prescott Valley and Dewey-Humboldt, making up what is more and more commonly referred to as the “Quad-Cities” of western Yavapai County. Its ideal location places it nearly 95 miles north of Phoenix and 95 miles south of Flagstaff.

Prescott is served by a number of major thoroughfares, including Arizona Highways 69, 89, 89A and 169, making travel in and out of Prescott simple. Interstate 17, approximately 36 miles southeast of the community, can be reached via Arizona Highway 69 or 169. Additionally, Interstate 40 can be accessed through Highway 89, just 50 miles north of Prescott.

Prescott’s municipal airport, Ernest A. Love Field, offers general aviation services and daily commercial flights. As with many smaller airports, passenger air service changes occur regularly. At press time, Horizon Air is scheduled to begin a daily non-stop flight to Los Angeles (LAX) in early September 2008. Great Lakes Airlines is scheduled to resume three daily flights to Phoenix later this summer. The airport, one of the busiest in Arizona for general aviation uses, is also utilized as the flight-training center for Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Love Field can be accessed in the northern part of the community along Highway 89.

Domestic and international flights can be found less than two hours away at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Twenty-three airlines operate out of the facility, with about 1,500 aircraft and nearly 109,000 passengers arriving and departing daily. Local shuttle bus services provide constant transportation to and from Sky Harbor.
