There&#8217;s also a campground in the National Forest, called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.camparizona.com\/Campsites\/FlagstaffCampsites\/yavapai.htm\">Yavapai<\/a>.  The hiking was easy on a trail called only &#8220;261&#8221;, but the granite boulders are extremely rough to the touch and take a heavy toll on the skin of climbers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tour.airstreamlife.com\/weblog\/Prescott%20Emma%20hiking.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Prescott Emma hiking.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/tour.airstreamlife.com\/weblog\/Prescott%20Emma%20hiking-thumb.jpg\" width=\"360\" height=\"238\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Still, we tried a little easy rock climbing after the hike, and Emma seems to be very interested in it, even with the rough granite. <\/p>\n<p>From our campsite, it&#8217;s an easy scramble up to a section of the Dells where the views are panoramic.  Emma has gotten in the habit of going up every evening to take sunset photos.  This evening Rich C and I accompanied her. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tour.airstreamlife.com\/weblog\/Prescott%20Emma%20dells.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Prescott Emma dells.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/tour.airstreamlife.com\/weblog\/Prescott%20Emma%20dells-thumb.jpg\" width=\"360\" height=\"238\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s an incredible thing to just walk out our door and into this amazing granite playground.
