The town of Cave Creek, Arizona is nestled in the rugged yet scenic desert foothills north of Phoenix and Scottsdale. Cave Creek’s western roots run deep. The original town was built by miners in the 1870’s on ancient Hohokam ruins when gold was discovered nearby.

Today Cave Creek is a vibrant community of just under 4,000 people where the true western experience still exists. Cave Creek is small enough to feature the hospitality of a small town, yet large enough to offer visitors with the complete Arizona experience. Several fine hotels, resorts, Bed & Breakfast inns, and villas are complemented by the town’s many outstanding restaurants and bars. A wide variety of outdoor recreational activities including golf, horseback riding, and desert mountain biking and hiking are available. Shoppers have a multitude of offerings to choose from including several upscale western clothing and furniture stores. A thriving arts community also exists which includes numerous fine art galleries and studios.

Many say that Cave Creek offers the epitome of the Arizona experience. Others put it more simply: Cave Creek is Arizona.
