A Local’s Perspective: “I Had No Idea This Existed”
“I’ve lived here for a while now, and every time I get out in Prescott, I think, gosh, there’s so much more to see and so much more to do,” Jane – General Manager, shared after the tour. “I have never been out here.”
That reaction is common. Prescott has viewpoints and forest routes that most visitors never reach because they do not know where to turn or what roads to avoid.
Pick Your Tour Style
- The signature sunset: Sunset & S’mores
This tour heads toward Sierra Prieta and adds a fire pit and s’mores at the sunset stop, so the experience feels like an evening outing, not only a ride.
- 60-minute adventures: quick, scenic, and easy to fit into a trip
- Sierra Prieta (60 minutes): A one-hour ride to a scenic point with broad valley views, and it is a favorite for guests who want a sunset option.
- Quartz Mountain (60 minutes): A climb to Quartz Mountain for 360-degree views, with a chance to spot deer.
- Copper Canyon (60 minutes): A shorter tour that “adds a bit of thrill” with technical descents before returning.
- 90-minute adventures: longer routes with more terrain variety
- Bannie Mine Trail (90 minutes): A winding, rock-filled route with forest scenery and photo stops.
- Sierra Prieta & Copper Canyon (90 minutes): A combined route that mixes viewpoints with a descent section.
- Ponderosa to Goldwater Lake (90 minutes): A high-energy route with steep ascents, descents, and a few water crossings, plus a short break at Goldwater Lake.
- Weekend Sunset & Massage Special
Angry Ape also lists a weekend sunset option that pairs the sunset tour with a 20-minute massage for each guest (Fridays and Saturdays)
What Makes Angry Ape Tours Stand Out
Expert guides and local context
The guide makes the drive part of the experience, not just the transportation between stops.
Routes that match your comfort level
You can choose a faster, easier scenic tour or pick a route that leans more technical.
Views that feel “found,” not crowded
Many stops sit in the Prescott National Forest setting, away from the busiest visitor areas.
