Once a booming mine town, Cave Creek has maintained much of that Old West feel. Rustic shops, restaurants and cowboy bars abound, along with lazy horse ranches and Old West museums.

Area attractions include the Cave Creek Mistress Mine and the Cave Creek Museum, filled with Indian artifacts and pottery, cowboy memorabilia and items from the gold rush days.

In addition, Spur Cross Ranch features 2,100 acres of lush vegetation and archaeological treasures, while local stables offer horseback rides into the adjacent Continental Mountains.
