Spruce Mountain Lookout

Located in the Bradshaw Mountains of Central Arizona just outside of Groom Creek in Prescott, the Spruce Mountain Lookout is a must-see destination. The panoramic views of the surrounding mountain ranges and valleys are breathtaking, especially when the nearby ponderosa pine forests glow in the fascinating light of the early morning and late evening sun. The ruins of old mining buildings, such as a water tank, and a post office, can also be found in the area and make for great photographic opportunities. Numerous wildlife species such as elk and mule deer can often be seen roaming the slopes, along with abundant bird life. For those looking for an unforgettable experience, a picnic lunch on the wooden lookout platform is the perfect way to take it all in. Hiking trails and other attractions can be found nearby, making the Lookout a great spot to easily access the beauty of Central Arizona.
