Whiskey Course Cue Sheet Posted

Pre-riding just got a little easier with the brand-spanking new cue sheet. It won't climb the hills for ya. But to the tenth of a mile, it'll tell ya where to turn next.

The trails for the 15, 25 and 50 proof are located on Prescott National Forest land and are open year round. No more guesswork - Ride anytime ya want and bring the cue sheet to make it easy to follow the yellow brick road.

Honest Abe (Lincoln) in 1864 pushed for the founding of Prescott and the surrounding territory because of its mineral riches to help with the demands of the war effort. In 1900 a great fire leveled most of Whiskey Row and its rumored 40 bars and notorious red-light district. The wood they then left in the forest to support great mountain bike riding and used the local stone and brick instead for construction. But Prescott still showcases 809 buildings on Historic Register of Places to give you a real taste of the Old West and the perfect backdrop for the Whiskey Off-Road.
