“When you look at the Sonoran Desert town of Cave Creek Arizona, you see a land of beautiful sunsets, strong cactus and a tenacious community. This interesting little town, nestled just north of Phoenix was founded in 1870 and sits at an elevation of 2183 feet. It was founded by soldiers from Fort McDowell who arrived on horseback and rested at a shaded grassy spring just west of the present town center. Cave Creek residents are proud of their community, it’s western heritage and the joy it brings year round. One of the premier events each year this quaint town puts on is its Cave Creek Rodeo Days.
