The dells

what are the dells?

The Granite Dells, commonly just called The Dells, are one of Arizona's most stunning landscapes. The granite now shaped into the area's iconic peaks and boulders is over 1.4 billion years old-- that's older than the Grand Canyon!

This is Prescott's most defining feature - a wonderland of wild rock formations interspersed with the spectacular Willow and Watson Lakes.

trails

More than 50 miles of rugged, technical mountain biking over slickrock, in deep slot canyons, and through rock formations.
