Review:

Cave Creek is a charming town in Maricopa County, located within convenient day trip distance of both Phoenix and Scottsdale. The town is home to a plethora of historic attractions, including the National Register of Historic Places-listed Tubercular Cabin, the First Church of Cave Creek, and the Golden Reef Stamp Mill. The historic Spur Cross Ranch, originally established in the 1920s, has been converted into a 2,154-acre wilderness and recreation area that serves as the gateway to the beautiful Tonto National Forest. 3,000 acres of lush Sonoran Desert wilderness are protected within Cave Creek Regional Park, a popular spot for birdwatching and hiking throughout the year. Other popular attractions include Gateway Desert Awareness Park, which offers family-friendly attractions, and the beautiful Seven Springs Recreation Area. Downtown, visitors can peruse charming art galleries, secondhand stores, and boutiques selling authentic Mexican pottery.
