Prescott, Arizona: The other Mile High City, is located just two hours north of Phoenix, but it feels like a world away. Around here, we call it "riding in the pines."

As the training grounds of Pivot athlete and Olympic qualifier Chloe Woodruff, and home to the legendary Whiskey Off-Road, Prescott boasts more than 600 miles of singletrack and multi-use trails. With 450 miles on Prescott National Forest land and another 150 miles of city-managed trails, there's something for every rider. Bring your bike and be ready to explore the endless forest singletrack, then hop on your e-bike to test your technical skills on the granite features surrounding Watson Lake.

Watson Lake, also known as The Granite Dells, is located just outside Prescott with hotels, restaurants and other amenities within a five-mile radius. If camping is more your style, there is a large parking area for van campers and 35 designated tent sites. Campsites are self-supported for water and electricity, but restrooms and showers are available on-site.

By early October, the fall colors are beginning to appear, and you can expect warm, comfortable days with crisp evenings, about as perfect as riding weather gets.

We'll be sharing more details in the weeks leading up to Pivot Palooza, including special guest ride leaders, event menus and a few surprises. Stay tuned, we can't wait to ride with you!
