Cave Creek, however you want it.

Welcome to Cave Creek, Arizona – a town that has preserved the rugged spirit of the desert! This beautiful town is nestled high above Phoenix and Scottsdale in the foothills of Black Mountain, Skull Mesa, and Elephant Butte. With boundless ranches and a rich history, Cave Creek is a must-visit destination for any traveler. The town was once home to the Hopi Nation, and their imprints can still be seen in the form of artifacts, drawings, and adobes. After the Native presence, Americans moved to the area for gold mining, and the U.S. Calvary even used it as a rendezvous in the 1870s. The locals have done an impressive job of keeping the township relatively the same in the face of changes nearby in Phoenix and Scottsdale. Cave Creek is highly recognizable as an “Old Western” town, with saloons, rodeos, rustic art galleries, and Western-style shops. You can enjoy live music nightly at most venues, featuring both national and local talents. The town also boasts world-class golf courses and plentiful specialty stores. If you find yourself craving the hustle and bustle of the city, Phoenix and Scottsdale are just a stone’s throw away.
