For an Arizona day trip with a distinct Western vibe, Cave Creek perfectly fits the bill. Located in the north-eastern part of the Greater Phoenix Area, Cave Creek is both quirky and cool. Here you can find motorcyclists and cowboys sharing the main road, which is lined with animal-feed stores alongside up-market interior shops, boutiques and saloons. You can learn about the early days of Cave Creek at the Cave Creek Museum or enjoy the lively bull-riding and two-stepping at one of the town’s saloons. If you fancy some outdoor recreations you can go hiking at Spur Cross or go horseback riding at one of several riding stables.
