A quirky town just northeast of Phoenix, Cave Creek is an Old West style town where it’s just as common to see horseback riders trotting along Main Street as it is to see a motorcycle cruising by. It’s got that small town charm where locals are friendly and excited to share their town with visitors. With the Sonoran Desert and Tonto National Forest nearby there is no shortage of outdoor adventures to be had. Hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and hot air ballooning are a few favorites. It’s also home to several mouthwatering restaurants and numerous unique shopping opportunities.

Sightseeing

Very nice park with easy access from the interstate. The paved trail at the base of the ruins has plenty of information about the ruins and the people who lived here. Be sure to drive to the associated well for a neat experience walking the rim of the well.
