Carefree Cave Creek Chamber of Commerce Media Kit

Greetings from Carefree and Cave Creek, Arizona!

These two adjacent towns create a distinctive enclave tucked into the Sonoran Desert Forest foothills just southwest of the Tonto National Forest. The picturesque setting, along with each community’s unique style, makes for a fun and interesting lifestyle. Many who come for a visit decide to stay, as they’ve become inspired by those who have effectively combined their love of beauty and tranquility with business and civic interests.

Just 30 miles but worlds away from downtown Phoenix, Carefree and Cave Creek has something for everyone, from rustic ranches to luxurious spas, funky shops, fine art galleries, mountain lake oases, picture-perfect sunrises and sunsets, and rocking’ saloons to critically acclaimed four-star restaurants. With more than 300 days per year of glorious sunshine, the area is perfect for enjoying every type of activity, year-round.

Nature and history buffs will want to explore the miles of preserve trails on horseback, bicycle, foot, or by Jeep. Watch for turkey vultures, giant horned owls, and mule deer, and be awed by our forests of giant saguaros. Don’t miss the Hohokam’s prehistoric rock drawings and their dwelling remains, or the remnants of old stagecoach stops and gold mines.

For discoveries of a different sort, browse through our many shops, which offer everything from Western furnishings to contemporary fashions, and art by renowned local and international artists. If you’re game for sports, tee off at one of our world-class golf clubs, or visit one of our first-class resorts, where you can also play tennis, swim, and immerse yourself in mud baths and massages. Unwind at a Western-style watering hole, steakhouse or diner, an artsy wine bar, or even a Victorian English tea room!

At night, dance to authentic live Western music or just sit back and listen to the sound of silence — interrupted occasionally by howling coyotes — and gaze at the twinkling stars. From cowboys to caviar, Cave Creek and Carefree have something for everyone.
