Cave Creek Arizona "The Hidden Gem in North Phoenix"
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- This is a tour around the small town of Cave Creek Arizona north of Phoenix about 10 miles. Cave Creek is known for its western small town feel with biker bars on one side and cowboy dance bars with rodeos on the other side of Cave Creek Road. We explore Spur Cross conservation area, the area of Frontier Town and the biker bars and cowboy bars around the Buffalo Chip and Harold's. We have lunch at El Encanto Mexican Cafe.
Living in Arizona is quite a unique experience because of the vastness that the state offers. From the Sonoran Desert in the south to the high country in the north all the way up towards the Four Corners east and the Grand Canyon in the west. Known as the Grand Canyon state, Arizona is diverse in many ways. The state tree is the Palo Verde, the state cactus is the Saguaro, the state bird is the Cactus wren.

I've been coming to this area since before it was so touristy. Had the privilege to live here a few years too .
I'd go back there in a heart beat, but one can never go back in time.
Peace
Couldn't imagine growing up in a place like this, with the mountains and cactus and just beautiful scenery. I grew up in northern Indiana and it was flat, no landscape, corn, and horrible weather. This place is like a dream to me.
Lol did u care what the environment looked like as teen .. prob not but I do reconize the beauty
Why don’t you move there?
@@danjacobsen7645 Unfortunately I can't take my job with me or I absolutely would! I really appreciate AZ's natural beauty.
It is a dream Bit in 1955 when I first visited the place it was paradise
I got to grow up in cave creek, it was fantastic
My father, who grew up in Phoenix, chose to move to Cave Creek a decade or so ago. He had a house with a large backyard. Visiting him was an absolute pleasure. Always had a love for Cave Creek, as well as Carefree. Great video 👌👌
Lived right on Cave Creek, used to drive my horses to town, left in 1995, was a great cowboy town then, but I still like the video, brings back a lot of memories, thx.
There's a lot of beautiful places to see in Arizona. You could spend years driving all over the state.
When I was a teenager Cave Creek only had a A and W root beer stand and Carefree had a sundial.
You old as hell
I love that sundial!
When I was a kid, Carefree didn't even exist! Cave Creek was just an isolated, tiny cowboy town, and North Phoenix didn't reach beyond Squaw Peak and Sunnyslope. The drive to Cave Creek was on a narrow, sometimes dirt, two lane Cave Creek Road through the empty desert (Paradise Valley, the actual valley, not the town, was nothing but desert from Squaw Peak, north to Cave Creek, and the Phoenix Mountains, east to Four Peaks). The main thing I remember was the gas station. I just discovered on Wikipedia just now, that that gas station is on the National Historic Registry. Go figure. I don't feel old or anything.
I lived at 19th and Beardsley in the late nineties. Absolutely loved Arizona. We went to Cave Creek a lot, several concerts. I imagine at this time Cave Creek Rd is heavily developed. I miss Arizona a lot. Really wish I had found a way to stay there!
Born & Raised "Creeker" in this Beautiful Foothills Town! 💜👍
Amazing place and amazing state. Makes me want to move there from Denmark
Denmark has no sunshine
Lived there about 23 years ago when there were a lot more ranches and horses and horse folks. Like any great place it exploded with incoming city folks and the CA crowd and many of the ranches disappeared. It’s still a beautiful area and IMHO the best place to live in all of Phoenix/Scottsdale.
CAVECREEK NOT BAD FOR PHOENIX AREA.. BUT NOT THE BEST IN ARIZONA.. GO UP NORTH TOWARDS FLAGSTAFF OR THE WHITEMOUNTAINS
@@jeffreykoran4820 Flagstaff way too cold in winter! Lots of snow. Sedona beautiful and the drive North past Flagstaff up to Utah. Really worth a drive. Incredible scenery.
I got a new job in Scottsdale next Monday and am moving to Cave Creek this weekend. I've always been a "city boy" in the past (Minneapolis, Las Vegas) living right in the heart of everything, but I wanted something different this time so small-town life it is -- a short walk to restaurants, bars, live music, etc. Just feels right now.
Hate when it happened
Thank you🌵Dad used to have a business in Arizona. First Tucson, then Phoenix. Our several homes were in Terra Vita ( parents kept selling and buying different ones in Terra Vita). I love the desert and heat. I remember Satisfied Frog, it was so great. Every time we go to cave creek of course we hit the library and the book store there has amazing prices. Now we have a home in Grayhawk in Scottsdale. So we still go up to Cave Creek all the time. Stagecoach village had a bookstore for a little while. And remember The Town Dump⁉️⁉️Mom used to love that place. It’s gone now.
I lived in both Carefree and Cave Creek back in the 70's. I worked at Horny Toad as a cook and lived in the Sundial apartments ($177 month rent at the time). My Parents owned the Dancing Bull Restaurant in the Spanish Village.
tHAT LIFE IS GONE NOW BUT WE STILL HAVE the memories I made two major mistakes getting married twice to the wrong women and moving to Pennsylvania
Now I I am almost broke and in lousy health MY advice to young guys who are WINNERS Top salesmen etc Move to the sunshine if that is what makes you happy
In Pennsylania the sun shines 59 days per year
Been in Arizona for over 20 years and love cave creek. Especially the Hideaway. Best real biker bar. Love Arizona bike week.
Real biker bar? Lol
@@desertmulehunter yeah I’ve been in biker bars that were so bougie. I laughed. This bar is rustic not fancy. Down to earth. Hard to explain. 😊
This is great video! Born and raised in Cave Creek and I'll always be a Creeker at heart 💚🌵
Watching from Birmingham, Alabama keep up the good work! Highlighting Arizona such a pretty state out there 👌🏼
Great video. Very nicely done.
I live in Phoenix which is connected to Cave Creek... Let me tell you guys.. Half of cave creek is like a normal town and the other half of Cave Creek is nothing but million dollar mansions... And its also connected to Scottsdale... Its the perfect place if you still want all the amenities and still want your space from the big city it even gets a little bit of snow in the winter.... Plus theres a lake about 15 or 20 miles away...
Hello there, That looks like a cool town and a beautiful trail, Love there desert hiking especially in the spring. Very cool views with the drone. love the video thanks for sharing
Like it good job what a cool place to remember! Love them shops.
I love Cave Creek! We used to drive through Cave Creek on our way to the Barlett Lake! We used to camp out there is awesome!!! Great memories!
Hello from Lubbock Texas🙋♂️🙋♂️!!!!
We have a home there. Love it so much. Can walk everywhere 💚Lots to do.
I ran across your video I am from Missouri I love this video I like to see cave Creek it looks so beautiful Arizona is so beautiful
I love cave creek! I hope it snows there this winter too!
It sure did
Great video. Makes me excited to possibly move there.
Used to live across from Rancho Manana. Fun place to golf. Favorite restaurant is Tonto Bar and Grill!
Love these videos, keep em coming 🤗
Love Cave Creek, I built some homes out in mirabel going towards Bartlett lake, back in 2007, getting more populated nowadays.
Thanks for this great video. We are moving back to Cave Creek in the next month or two. Can't wait!
We love road trips here in Arizona. Lake Powell, Sedona, Flagstaff, and more. amAZing Arizona
I love Cave Creek, thanks for sharing! 😀
I am from New River about 8 miles from Cave Cfeek its beautiful
My son lives in AZ. I love cave creek
I lived in Cave Creek as a kid in the 80’s. Went to Black Mountain Elementary and Desert Arroyo Middle School.
Thank you so much for your video I've lived in scottsdale for about 20 years and never have been to cave creek your video made it look wonderful
My late husband & I lived in Cottonwood, AZ for I guess 4 years. I love the Verde Valley; it's just beautiful. Many thanks for the mini-tour of Cave Creek. I'll bet it gets as hot as Phoenix proper, huh?
Yes it does get almost as hot as Phoenix
Not quite. Little higher elevation. Less pavement. Low density.
@@andylane3739 -- Hey, thank you, Andy !!
You must have missed the video...
Enjoyed this video ... love your coverage of cave creek ! Great area - love the history ! Thanks so much👍😬
Stage Coach area is awesome. Usually hit up Mountain View Pub. The food and the view is BOMB!
Then walk to Janey's. Live music every weekend at both places. Also the marketplace across the street during the day has live music. Really cute area.
Just love the feel in Cave Creek. The occasional classic car rolling by is awesome too! 😍
Hahahah cave creek Half the year there are snowbirds here making a tourist attraction out of our town whilst raising housing costs. Cave creek AZ where rich millennial become opioid addicts by 22. And Scottsdale Bros wearing clean jeans, prestine non-scratched boots, with clean lifted trucks which have ever only pulled recreational vehicles, and NEVER a horse or hay trailer, go to feel like they live in the "wild west" and be a pretend cowboy for the night.
Spent some time in Deer Valley and went to Cave Creek and cave creek camp ground lot's of time's
Love how the sign posited at the other end of the campground said no service next 68 miles if i remember. Drove out that way a few times it was nice.
Love how any one could open carry at the time and always felt safe when stopping to talk to police officers
Just Wounder if the campground is still there as the place has change so much
Thanks for the video
Nice footage with the drones!
Me encanta cave creek, buena comida, música y gente amable 🥰
Dime, es un lugar "caro" o "lujoso"??
I love Arizona, and I love all the American flags people put out 😊 🇺🇸..
Watching from IOWA
We go to Cave Creek evevy year.And we wear our Patriots gear......Always had good time's.The Cards are our NFC team......We LOVE AZ
You never mention The Grotto Cafe !! Its one of the most beautiful places to sit and enjoy a great meal, some awesome music and fantastic views of Black Mountain. Give us some love over there at The Grotto 😊
Man how it’s changed since I was there almost forty years ago! I wonder what happened to the “ Cave Creek Corral Saloon”. A good steak and ale while listening to live country music was a favorite past time. All I can remember was a Circle K at one end of Main Street, a Dairy Queen, a few gift shops and country western bars. I got a job back when the Care Free Golf Resort was being built after taking a train and hitch hiking my way back from Mexico and Belize, C.A.
You have a GREAT voice for videos 😊
Used to live behind the boulders I really miss it by Arroyo Hondo
Love the informative videos!! Any snow in the dead of winter? The reason, I was born and raised on a 1700 acre Dairy farm outside Mandan, North Dakota. Now live in Lakewood, Colorado, west side of Denver. If Colorado keeps going south, I may have to go really south!!
Beautiful place!!!
LOVE Cave Creek!
Awesome video I love cave creek ARIZONA awesome place great small town FEEL but still close enough to the city 🏜😎👍
Your editing and b-roll is awesome, the drone camera is perfect. I worked in Cave Creek for 5yrs beautiful place. Great representation of town and explanation of terms on translations.
I’m a new subscriber, love your work 👍🏼.
I grew up there. I remember when the Mexican food restaurant with the pond was the offices of the "Black Mountain News"! And Rowdy's hamburger joint was down the street.
Cave Creek is my favorite I have three days to stay there ❤️
Show more places like this. Some acreage, no HOA. There must be places to grow some crops. Maybe Pistachios or whatever else grows out there. I like the cactus and palms and agave plants.
I wonder if you would like the Oracle Junction area?
@@ernestrodriguez1465 I'll have to check area you mentioned. Thank you for the tip!
Was there last week 1/27, kind of reminds me of a day trip town back home Grafton, IL.
Love this one Jeff. Just bought land in Chino Valley, and DEFINITELY headed down to Cave Creek when I move. Thanks for the tips on the souvenir shop because I will need to furnish my new home and land with AZ charm!
Awesome videos. I love the scenery
Great Video.. Played at the Mountain View a couple of weeks ago and will be back in the next few months. It's a beautiful town ... as I drove up Scottsdale Road to get there I felt like I was driving into the Old West
Thank you ..new to your channel.. this is awesome thinking of going over there for the weekend and now I know where to go.
beautiful. definitely adding this area to my list of places to visit. Wishing you a super week. Hugs, Susan
My Town! Cave Creek AZ
Well done Jeff. We relocated a few years ago and chose Oro Valley, but Cave Creek was our second choice. The unique cycling infrastructure, cooler temps, scenery, and smaller town vibe of OV clinched it for us. My video request for you to consider - would welcome your experienced suggestions on destinations for Arizonans to escape the summer heat. AZ locations, California, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico (?). The need to escape the heat in summer is obviously a need that would be of interest to a wide swath of your audience.
Ca e Creek video was great
It's exactly what I'm looking for:-)
Since you worked at El Encanto as a kid - do you remember back behind El Encanto there was a Mid Century Duplex/apaprtment(s).....I lived there around 89-91 ( long before Tatum Ranch )......At first I used to live at the end of School house road going south back towards Phx, but they tore those down and made them into Timeshares so I had to move and moved in to those behind El Encanoto.....Good times....(I am not sure if they are still there). I used to work at the Boulders and The Treehouse too ! Ahhhhh The Treehouse.....Good times !!!! Thanks for the video ! ...I've liked and subscribed : )
Nice I ride my motorcycle there often
I enjoy seeing these videos. Even though I live here, there have been places I haven't seen and you give me ideas on where to go. I've driven through Cave Creek but didn't realize it was such an extensive, fun place.
awesome video - definitely on my bucket list to visit
Thanks!! See you in May!
Another winner!
Nice tour du jour!
Another great video
My wife and I are snowbirds, we bought a house just 15 minutes west of Cave Creek off the I74 11 years ago. If we could do it again we would have bought a place in Cave Creek. It's small town but it's still only minutes away from all you need. We drive through Cave Creek 2 or 3 times a year just to pass some time.
Used to be a beer made there that I liked it was called chili beer. It had a chili pepper in every beer very tasty :)
First like 👍🏻
This area is beautiful. Will put it on my list when looking for places to move too.
If you like 105 to 120 degree summers. The heat is nauseating.
Moving back to az very very soon!!!!
I grew up in Arizona and my daughter was born there. I plan on returning their someday though I am concerned with the influx of Californians ruining the things that make Arizona so awesome. It is a very unique state full of many wonders.
I agree, Californians flooding the housing market.
@@tomkin8506 And bringing their politics and ideology to Arizona, sad to see.
Left Arizona in early 80's. Anyone remember Sunnyslope? Rented a small house there for $60 a month and any window you looked out had fruit trees.
Nicely done. Thanks. You forgot to mention bobcats!
Used to live in cave Creek for twenty years used to sell hot dogs on the corner of cave Creek and carefree highway
When was desert love your video
Beautiful if you’re into the desert landscape. I was born and raised in Phoenix. I hate desert. Anything with green forest is beautiful. And we have some beautiful forestry around the state. Good videos. Keep em coming.
I thought the same thing then moved to the land of lush forests in Oregon. With that came months of fog, clouds, rain, mud and being cooped up inside. Beautiful spring, part of summer then comes the heat, then comes more weeks and months being holed up inside because of the smoke from forest fires taking you right into winter. Not all it’s cracked up to be and the politics are horrible to add to the misery. There is a reason places like Oregon and Washington have higher rates of depression and suicide than other places. Now I know why.
Most of my childhood was spent in Phoenix. So much to do there though incomes were not that great.
I live in the town been here sece I was a kid a watched the town grow some good some bad but not a bad place to live
You didn't warn people about the downside to living in a town popular with tourists; which is the crowds, snowbirds, heavy traffic during events, etc, and don't forget about the ones who park on residential streets, blocking driveways etc. I've lived in such a place, and it can drive one nuts.
Yah but Cave Creek doesnt get all that busy stuff you named... Its grown a little but Phoenix and s Scottsdale yah... But Cave Creek is tiny ... And it shuts down at night..you can ride a bike from one side to the other of itin abour 15.... 20 mins tops i can do it in 10.. Sooo what are you talking about
Yep and they look down on anyone with real cowboy skills and they couldn't even change a tire on their lame trucks.
Oh poor you. Relax it’s really not that bad Neil
I want more comfy summers and warmer winters
Love Cave Creek! Im a huge Packer fan and when i came upon this place i almost had a heart attack!.. After i left i heard the place burned to the ground.. Hope things are back to normal!
Max McGee original owner. 1st super bowl TD ever.
Im surprised its this beautifull after that time they were 2960 freedom units in temperature
=U KNOW,IT'S BASICALLY NOTHING COMPARED TO 101,105 DEGREES,THO
=HEHEHEHEHE
Great video !
I still hope to move out there
Beautiful place, would love to get away from the absolute insanity here in Los Angeles and the direction the whole state is headed. Just to enjoy some sun and peace with my 2 sweet companion parrots.
=WELL,AFTER EVEN STEEL WAS BOILING THERE,IT LOOKS PRETTY MUCH NICE
=HEHEHEHE
Amen~!
I will be there between February 21st and March 1st in 2022
Our family moved here 13 years ago and there’s no place I’d rather be.
I grew up here and live here. It's a nice little town, but will eventually be over run with transplants in the next 3 to 6 years. Already we added some 2,000 residents in the past 8 years. Which may not seem like a alot, but when I grew up there was only about 5,000 people living here. Now there is close to 11,000 if I had to guess.
Overall the town I would say has benefited financially from this increase. But the local culture is gone as people moved away and sold their homes for hundreds or thousands or even millions. All that exists now are mostly retired people from California, Washington, and New York
My Relatives settled there a long time ago. Rest in Peace, Cleo and Norma Sanderson.
Would have liked to see some cowboy action, lol
