How to Get Here

If you’re traveling from Prescott, the drive to Van Dickson Ranch takes about 25–30 minutes. Simply head west on Iron Springs Road for roughly 14 miles until you reach Van Dickson Road, just before the railroad underpass. Turn right, follow the road over the hill and under the trestle, and you’ll see the ranch signs guiding you in.


Guests coming from Phoenix should plan for a 1 hour 45 minute to 2 hour drive. Take I‑17 north to Prescott via AZ‑69, then follow Montezuma → Whipple → Iron Springs Road for about 14 miles until you reach Van Dickson Road. Turn right and follow the signs to the ranch. Both routes are scenic, and the ranch is only half a mile off Iron Springs Road once you make the turn.

Parking and Arrival

Van Dickson Ranch makes arrival easy for all guests. The venue has ample on‑site parking just a short walk from the ceremony and reception spaces, so you won’t need to shuttle or park off‑site. When you turn onto Van Dickson Road, simply follow the ranch signs over the hill and under the trestle and parking attendants will guide you the rest of the way. The property is also fully accessible, with convenient drop‑off areas for anyone who may need a little extra time or support getting to the event spaces.

What to Expect on Arrival

When you arrive at Van Dickson Ranch, you’ll be greeted by wide‑open views, fresh air, and the relaxed charm of Skull Valley. After parking, follow the short path toward the ceremony area, where our team will be on hand to guide you and answer any questions. Feel free to take your time, enjoy the scenery, and settle in. The ranch is easy to navigate, and everything is just a short walk apart. We recommend arriving a little early to soak in the setting and find your seat before the celebration begins
