CAVE CREEK
Quirky Cave Creek is hard to pigeonhole: motorcycle and horseback riders share Main Street with one-of-a-kind shops and saloons. You move at a slower pace in Cave Creek, where friendly “Creekers” can steer you towards hiking or to Harold’s, a local Steelers bar. One this is for sure, being country and being different is highly encouraged here.
