This live camera looks out over Prescott, a town of about 40,000 people sitting at roughly 1,640 metres in the hills of central Arizona.

About Prescott and its setting
Prescott is a former territorial capital of Arizona and is known for its historic downtown square, Victorian-era buildings and a large area of ponderosa pine forest. Its elevation makes it noticeably cooler than the low deserts to the south, and the surrounding granite boulders and rolling hills give the area a character quite different from the Phoenix metro. Many visitors come for the hiking, the lakes and the relaxed, small-city feel.
What the camera shows and when to watch
The feed shows the town as seen from its camera position, and what you can see depends on the view and the weather. Clear mornings often bring crisp light and visible mountain outlines, while late afternoon can bring warm colours to the hills. In summer, watch for afternoon thunderstorms building over the high country, and in winter for snow or clouds that can settle over the town.
Climate and getting around
Prescott has a mild, sunny climate with warm summer days, cool nights and cold winters with occasional snowfall. Spring and early autumn are generally the most comfortable times to visit. The town is a reasonable drive from several other places in the state, and nearby cameras on this site cover Sedona, Munds Park, Flagstaff and Surprise for comparison.
