Description
GRANITE DELLS AT WATSON LAKE by PRISCILLA BURGERS
Sunrise at Granite Dells in Prescott, Arizona brought beautiful clouds and calm, clear reflections. There are reportedly only two other locations in the world where there are rocks as old as the Dells, located at Watson Lake.. In the early days, the Dells provided both excellent cover and abundant water for elusive hostile Indians. They would sweep out from this safe haven to attack early settlers passing by on their way into Prescott. It was the location of nationally known Granite Dells Resort in the early to mid 20's. The resort attracted the "rich and famous," including a number of movie productions, as well as the popular duo Abbott and Costello, who practiced their baseball comedy act "Who's on First?" at the Granite Dells Field. Many early westerns were shot around Prescott, most notably by Tom Mix who had a ranch close by. Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy also had a private airstrip and ranch about twenty miles north of Prescott. Snow-capped San Francisco Peaks, near Flagstaff, Arizona, can be seen in the background.
