Cave Creek has a genuine western attitude. Here you'll find many horse properties, saloons and rodeo events. There's no shortage of shops here, so if you are looking for western jewelry, one-of-a-kind pottery, cowboy furniture, a cow head (you can never find one in Phoenix when you need one), a pair of boots, antiques or a lamp with horns, this is the place.

While another city in the Phoenix area has trademarked the tag line "The West's Most Western Town," few cities or towns in Maricopa County can rival the western ambiance of Cave Creek.
