Next, we take a look at the lakes near to Embry-Riddle campus (Watson and Willow Lake).

My friends and I often take our multirotors out to the lake for some aerial photos and video.

One of my favorite spots in Prescott is Spruce Mountain Lookout. From the top of the mountain you are rewarded with a beautiful view of Prescott below.

Another hidden gym is Prescott’s Lynx Creek system. In winter/spring the creek flows with snowmelt and produces gorgeous scenery.

Our final destination is Prescott’s Downtown Courthouse square. The square presents beautiful colors in the fall as well as spring, and in the winter the entire courthouse and surroundings are covered with Christmas lights.

  1. Dear Colton. Thank you so very much for sharing your photos of Prescott. Each and every one of your pictures are stunning! What great photography. I am so glad you think Prescott and the surrounding area is as beautiful as I do. Best wishes to you from Lynda

  2. Colton,
    Good stuff, bro. I loved the unabashed XA shout out and your year-end video–it’s definitely all-things XA & Riddle–leaves me reminiscent of my 5 years there. Glad I got to visit back in December for the last XA. Say hi to Kev & Kim and Matty & Maureen for me. Godspeed with the rest of your schooling!
    Kyle
