The City
The guide was updated:
With intentions of “preserving the spirit of the desert,” Cave Creek, Arizona maintains its rugged personality in the form of boundless ranches and historical relevance. Prior to its establishment, Cave Creek was home to the Hopi Nation; much of their imprints have remained in the form of artifacts, drawings and adobes. Following Native presence, Americans moved to the area for gold mining, and the U.S. Calvary even used it as a rendezvous in the 1870s. Impressively, Cave Creek locals have kept the township relatively the same in the face of changes nearby in Phoenix and Scottsdale.
Cave Creek sits high above Phoenix and Scottsdale in the Black Mountain, Skull Mesa and Elephant Butte foothills. Such a terraced appearance has made it a popular vacation destination, as well as highly recognizable as an “Old Western” town. There are saloons, rodeos, rustic art galleries and Western-style shops. Live music is featured nightly at most venues, bringing in both national and local talents. Play championship golf at world-class courses before browsing through the plentiful specialty stores. And if you find yourself craving that hustle and bustle of the city, Phoenix and Scottsdale are merely a stone’s throw away.
