CAVE CREEK ARIZONA
Cave Creek is located two miles north of Carefree
Highway (Hwy. 74) on Cave Creek Road, about 25 miles
north of Phoenix. The temperature is slightly cooler
with even lower humidity. This is truly a desert
environment that supports an endless variety of outdoor
activities to include hiking, horseback riding, mountain
biking, golf & tennis. The landscape is highlighted by
the natural beauty of the crested mountains and the
contrasting open desert with all varieties of indigenous
cacti.
A true sense of the 'Old West', things move a little
slower in Cave Creek, now a haven for people looking to
get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. With
several places to stop and meet with other enthusiasts,
it is also an area that supports the 'Weekend Warrior'
motorcycle riders. Contrary to popular belief, this is a
well-behaved influence and welcomed by Cave Creek
merchants and residents alike.
