Cave Creek is located
two miles north of Carefree Highway (Hwy. 74) on Cave
Creek Road, about 25 miles north of Phoenix. The

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.
