Spence Creek Directions
Prescott, AZ
The Spence Creek event site is a wonderful area in the hills just west of downtown Prescott. With a full forest covering and several water drainages, the site is a great place to get out of the Phoenix heat and practice your navigation skills. We're happy to have the opportunity to use the area for our favorite sport.
