Chino Valley’s high plains elevation of about 4,750 feet provides the area a semiarid, moderate climate. Chino is the Mexican name for the abundant, curly, grama grass growing in the valley. Chino Valley’s farmers grow corn, grapes, alfalfa and many other crops. They raise cattle, chickens, horses and other animals on the fertile soil. Bountiful vegetable gardens and fruit trees flourish in Chino Valley’s residential area. Water wells average about 200’-500’ in depth.

The unique, varied, but mild terrain in the surrounding area consists of grasslands, pinon and juniper studded hills, interspersed with boulder formations and rugged canyons along with several small lakes and streams. Aspen, cottonwood, oak and maple trees grow along with Ponderosa pine.

The relatively short winter brings occasional snows which usually melt after a few hours of sunshine. Spring and summers are warm, mostly sunny, with occasional thunderstorms and rain showers.

Incorporated in 1970, Chino Valley received its name in 1854 from U.S. Army Cavalry Lt. Amiel W. Whipple. He was traveling through the area and took note of the plentiful grama grass growing in the region. The Mexican word for this grass was “chino”—thus the community’s name. From January – May of 1864, the site of the first Territorial Capital of Arizona was established at Del Rio Springs in Chino Valley. Later that year, the Territorial Capital was moved to Prescott.

It was a railroad that brought much activity to Chino Valley. Jerome Junction was established in 1895, becoming a major center of activity from 1900 until 1925, when it was moved farther north. Afterward, from the 1920’s to the late 1940’s, most of the families of Chino Valley took up farming and ranching. In the 1950’s and 1960’s, dairy farming became a large source of revenue.

Chino Valley has experienced much growth since its early beginnings. Affordable housing, large plots of land and significant availability of services continue to draw residents and businesses to the area. Source: Chino Valley Chamber of Commerce, www.chinovalley.org

The Chino Valley Medical Center in the heart of town provides a variety of medical services including primary, industrial and urgent care services to the entire family.

Yavapai Regional Medical Center is a not-for-profit hospital system that consists of YRMC West in Prescott, YRMC East in Prescott Valley and the YRMC Del E. Webb Outpatient Center, also in Prescott Valley. The Heart Center at Yavapai Regional Medical Center is a new state-of-

the-art cardiac surgery program, and is open at the Prescott campus. Using the latest technology and expertise in cardiothoracic (heart and chest) surgery, the Heart Center’s services cover diagnosis, treatment, surgery, rehabilitation and education.

Just some of the services and programs offered include Acute Inpatient Medical Care, the American Indian Program, the Dementia Special Care Unit, the Extended Care and Rehabilitation Center (nursing home), mental health clinics, a substance abuse treatment program and the Women Veteran’s Program.

The Chino Valley Family Practice was opened by Dr. Ekdahl in September of 1987 with x-ray, a minor surgery room, a couple of examination rooms and a very small waiting room. In a fairly short period of time, we found that the needs of the community were much greater than anticipated, and the

office expanded into adjacent suites over the next several years.

In 1999, Dr. Ekdahl opened Chino Valley Medical Center, a larger urgent care facility, to accommodate the growing demand for primary and urgent care services in the community. This facility is now owned by Nextcare Urgent Care. This facility had two triage bays for urgent care needs, ten examination rooms, two minor surgery suites, and x-ray.

Cultural Arts


Elks Theatre and Performing Arts Center Just up Gurley Street from the famous Courthouse Square in Prescott and Whiskey Row is the Elks Theatre. Originally a meeting place for the Order of the Elks many decades ago, the newly refurbished Theatre offers many great events to the public such as a variety of concerts, Acker Night performances, and much more. The restoration preserved the original beauty of this historic venue while improving the acoustics and ability to use current technology to provide an exquisite overall experience. To find the listing of performances go to www.prescottelkstheater.com or call (928) 777-1370. Just across the street from the Elks Theatre is the historic Hassayampa Inn, which offers another glimpse into the past, and has historic details preserved in the ceilings, walls and floors of this classic hotel.

Jerome Just up the hill from Chino Valley on Mingus Mountain is the spectacular vista from the historic copper mining town of Jerome. Founded in 1876 on Cleopatra Hill, it overlooks the Verde Valley at about 5,300 to 7,000 feet above sea level. There are many historic homes and buildings to visit there along with numerous art galleries that capture the beauty of this mountainside community. Some claim that ghosts of prior residents still inhabit some of these classic haunts. Jerome was the 3rd most populous town in Arizona back in the day. The community now has a small but dedicated population of over 500 persons who have rallied to rescue its historic and scenic treasures from neglect and deterioration.

A thriving artist colony and tourist attraction, this unique and quaint old town now houses gift shops, eateries and art galleries along its cobblestoned streets. Historical interests and its natural beauty bring many visitors to Jerome.

Route 89A is the entry point for Jerome. Driving west, the highway rises almost 2,000 ft. above Clarkdale as it twists and winds past an extraordinary residential community of unusual and colorful decor surrounded by lush gardens. The view encompasses much of the Verde Valley with the striking red rocks of Sedona to the northeast. The entire town of Jerome is designated as a National Historic Landmark.

Montezuma Castle Sinagua farmers began building this five-story, 20-room dwelling early in the 12th century. Montezuma Castle stands in a cliff recess a hundred feet above the valley in the Camp Verde area. Early settlers marveled at the structure and thought mistakenly that it was Aztecan in origin. A short distance west is Castle A, once an imposing six-story apartment with about 45 rooms.

Montezuma Well Montezuma Well has all the surprise of a lake and fairly lush vegetation in the midst of a desert in the Camp Verde Area. The well is a limestone sink formed long ago by

the collapse of an immense underground cavern. The springs that feed it flow continuously. Both the Hohokam and Sinagua irrigated crops with its waters. Traces of their irrigation ditches, thickly coated with lime, can be seen. The Hohokam pithouse on view was built

about 1100. The Sinaguan dwellings here vary in size from large pueblos of 55 rooms to one-room houses. Between 1000 and 1400 A.D. about 150 to 200 Sinaguans were thought to have lived here. (North of Camp Verde off I-17).

Sharlot Hall Museum Located in downtown Prescott, the Sharlot Hall Museum was founded in 1927 by Sharlot Mabridth Hall, poet, historian and independent thinker, whose passion to preserve the territorial Governor’s Mansion has led to the development of the complete Museum campus you find here today.

The Museum’s buildings form an architectural sequence spanning the years from the founding of Prescott in 1864 to the present. The exhibits and the Museum’s collections of artifacts which include clothing, tools, vehicles, weapons, photographs, documents and buildings, tell the stories of those who settled Arizona and the West, of the Native

Area Attractions Continued

Americans who preceded them and of the area’s rich natural environment.

Completed in 1979, the Museum Center is the hub around which Museum activities revolve. In the lobby you’ll find an exhibit about the founder of the Museum, Sharlot M. Hall.

The Governors Mansion was built on this site in 1864 from Ponderosa pine logs cut nearby. It housed the first Territorial Governor, John Goodwin and his staff. Large and well built, it is considered a “mansion” in comparison to the tents, wagons and crude cabins that were homes for the rest of Prescott’s new citizens in 1864. In 1927 Sharlot M.

Hall moved into the Governor’s Mansion and opened it as a museum.

Fort Misery is claimed as the oldest log building associated with the Territory of Arizona. It was built on the banks of Granite Creek (two blocks south of the Museum) in 1863-64. Sharlot Hall had it disassembled in 1934 and reassembled on the Museum grounds.

The Bashford House (gift shop and museum, built in 1877), is an excellent example of Prescott’s Victorian architecture, the height of housing fashion for the thirty years before statehood. The Fremont House, built in 1875, served as the home of the fifth territorial governor of Arizona (1878-1881). The sophisticated construction of this house reflects the rapid growth of Prescott during the ten years after 1864.

Other exhibits include the Museum’s vehicle collection, a 1930 ranch house, a replica of the first public schoolhouse in the Arizona territory built in Prescott in 1867, an 1885 iron turbine windmill,1870's kitchen garden, pioneer herb garden, ethnobotanical garden and the Territorial Women’s Memorial Rose Garden. There are some great events offered throughout the year on the grounds which can be found at www.sharlot.org or call (928) 445-3122 for more information. Courtesy of Sharlot Hall Museum

Smoki Museum The Smoki Museum is an interesting and unique building resembling Indian pueblo ruins constructed by the original Native American inhabitants of Central Arizona. The museum charts the history of these people with exhibits of artifacts including baskets, pottery and rugs depicting the lives of those very first Arizona residents. Located in Prescott at 147 N. Arizona St., the museum and pueblo are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. There is a library, native artwork, wonderful events and classes offered year round. For more information call (928) 445-1230 or go to www.smokimuseum.org.

Tuzigoot Tuzigoot, which is Apache for Crooked Water, is the remnant of a Sinaguan village built about 1100 A.D. It crowns the summit of a long ridge that rises 120 feet above the Verde Valley. The pueblo was two and

three stories high in places and had 110 rooms. There were few exterior doors; entry was by way of ladders through openings in the roofs. The village began as a small cluster of rooms that were inhabited by about 50 persons for a hundred years. In the 1200’s the population doubled and doubled again as refugee farmers, fleeing drought in outlying areas, settled here. The Sinaguan farmers left the area in 1400 A.D. The Eastern Collard Lizard, known for running on it’s hind legs at a 45 degree angle (looking like a small dinosaur), is often found at the Tuzigoot National Monument. There is a self guided 1/3 mile trail loop exploring the pueblo and offering outstanding views of the Verde River and Tavasci Marsh. For more information, call (928) 634-5564.

Day Trips

The Bradshaw Mountains southeast of Prescott and the nearby grasslands of the Chino and Prescott Valleys afford magnificent vistas. The Prescott National Forest, with one of the world’s largest stand of Ponderosa Pine provides about 1.2 million acres for a variety of outdoor recreation including boating, fishing, horseback riding, hiking or cycling. Watson Lake, Goldwater Lake, Granite Basin Lake, Willow Lake and Lynx Lake provide water recreation opportunities within a short drive of Chino Valley.

There are over 20 recreational facilities in the Prescott National Forest including an equestrian facility for campers with horses. Part of life in the quad-city area are such easily accessible outdoor activities as picnicking and camping. The area is known throughout the nation for its rock climbing opportunities. The 7,600 ft. Granite Mountain wilderness area provides some of the most challenging climbing anywhere in the country. The beautiful Granite Dells along Highway 89 provides exciting opportunities for rock climbing.

The area abounds with nature trails. Some of the more popular shorter trails are found in Thumb Butte park on the outskirts of Prescott. Thumb Butte, the guardian of Prescott is a 6,522 foot mountain with a granite peak resembling a thumb and is of historical significance to the Prescott community. For more serious hiking and backpacking trails, the nearby Sycamore Canyon wilderness area offers rugged breathtaking natural beauty and lots of photo opportunities for wildlife such as elk, deer, mountain lion and a variety of birds.

For enjoyable day trips, Highway 96, west of Prescott offers beautiful scenery, with a variety of interesting landscape, such as granite rocks in fascinating shapes and sizes and rolling hills with a diversity of shrubs and trees. Ranches are scattered along the way as well as several small communities such as ‘Skull Valley’, a picturesque agricultural settlement, rich in history. As the elevation drops, cactus of all types decorate the desert scene, prickly pear, ocotillo, cholla and the magnificent saguaro, along with an array of wildflowers.

Fort Verde State Historic Park Military occupation of the Verde Valley began in 1865 at the request of settlers who had established farms near the Verde River, five miles south of present Camp Verde. The

influx of settlers and miners had severely disrupted the hunting and gathering economy of the Tonto-Apache and Yavapai Indians, who in turn began raiding the fields for corn. The late 1860’s and early 1870’s saw major conflicts between the army and the Indians.

Between 1873 and 1875, nearly 1,500 Indians from various bands were placed on an 800 sq. mile reserve headquartered near the present site Cottonwood. The Indians were later moved to the San Carlos Reservation. The 10-day trek, in the cold, resulted in death for many from exposure and insufficient food. An effort by the army to keep the Indians on the San Carlos and Fort Apache reservation resulted in an uprising in 1882 —the last major battle with Apaches in Arizona. Camp Verde renamed Fort Verde in 1879, became less important with the cessation of raids in 1882 and was abandoned in 1891, then later sold at public auction in 1899.

A museum was founded in 1956 by local citizens who donated several buildings to create Fort Verde State Historic Park in 1970. The 10-acre park includes four of the original adobe fort buildings which contain military artifacts, Indian relics and articles used by settlers and Indians. The site was placed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.

Add to this the spectacular Oak Creek Canyon Rd. leading north and climbing 12 miles up, each turn more breathtaking than the last with lush vegetation, craggy canyons, sycamores, oak and cottonwood.

Complementing the magnificence of these natural creations is the delightfully charming Arts and Crafts Village of “Tlaquepaque,” situated in the heart of Sedona. Meaning “the best of everything,” Tlaquepaque is truly a fitting name for this Spanish Colonial Village. Displays by several well known Arizona artisans, intriguing one-of-a-kind shops,

The Grand Canyon The Grand Canyon is a magnificent, steep-walled gorge carved out over many years by the Colorado river, and is located in the northwest part of the state of Arizona. The Grand Canyon is contained within and managed by the Grand Canyon National Park, the Hualapai Tribal Nation, and the Havasupai Tribe. President Theodore Roosevelt, who was a major proponent of preservation of the Grand Canyon area, visited the Grand Canyon on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.

The Grand Canyon National Park was named as an official national park in 1919, but the landmark had been well known in the prior thirty years to many Americans. In 1903, then President Theodore Roosevelt visited the Grand Canyon and said: “The Grand Canyon fills me with awe. It is beyond comparison—beyond description; absolutely unparalleled throughout the wide world. Let this great wonder of nature remain as it now is. Do nothing to mar its grandeur, sublimity and loveliness. You cannot improve on it. But what you can

do is to keep it for your children, your children’s children, and all who come after you, as the one great sight which every American should see.”

There are two main public areas of Grand Canyon National Park, which are the North and South Rims. At 7,000 feet above sea level, the Grand Canyon South Rim is the most

accessible section of the national park, with numerous places where visitors can stop to admire the views. One can also take a helicopter, mule or hike down to the bottom of the canyon. There are also white water rafting trips available down the mighty Colorado river that has carved out this 1 mile deep, 277 mile long, up to 18 miles wide, awesome colorful gorge.

The Grand Canyon North Rim, which is about 1,000 feet higher than its southern companion, isn’t as popular because it is more difficult to reach. By car, the trip from one rim to the other on the east end of the canyon is about 220 miles. However, if traveling by foot, the distance across the canyon is 21 miles via the Kaibab Trails. The Grand Canyon is about a 114 mile drive from Prescott, and however you decide to view the canyon, it is well worth the trip.

The Verde Valley A short drive east to the Verde Valley is a fascinating historic area with such attractions as ancient cliff dwellings and pueblos built around the 12th century.

Early inhabitants, the Hohokam and Sinagua followed by the Apache and Yavapai Tribes and white settlers left a rich heritage for the Verde Valley community. The Verde River winds its way through the valley communities providing a variety of recreation and enjoyment. Fishing, swimming, hiking, camping and wildlife watching are just some of the activities to be enjoyed. The immediate area offers three fine golf courses and Dead Horse Ranch State Park and Reservoir. The Blazin ‘M’ Ranch is also in this vicinity. A replica of an old west town, it features activities, a museum, Chuckwagon suppers and a western stage show. The Verde Canyon Railroad at Clarkdale features a ride into spectacular Verde Canyon in an eagle decorated vintage engine that rolls past several historic attractions.
