We’ve fallen in love with Cave Creek Regional Park in the Maricopa County Park System. This was our first stay in this park on the northern edge of the county. Cave Creek is located northeast of Phoenix next to Carefree, Arizona. It is a small town with lots of horses and about 6000 people. The great thing about State and Regional Parks is the space. There is lots and lots of space between RV's. We have a huge backyard and trails right outside our door.
Maricopa County parks have great trails for running, hiking and biking and this park is no exception. The one difference at this park is the number of horses on the trails. There are lots of horses and horse apples on the trails. It is very busy on the weekends with lots of hikers and horse back riders. During the week, you may pass a few people on the trails but it’s generally pretty quiet.

Check out the greenery! There has been rain in the region so the landscape is green.
And, at the end of a day of hiking and playing, we can start our propane fire, our propane grill and light up our lights and have an enjoyable outdoor picnic.
now that is our kind of park too - love the open spaces or campgrounds in the mountain in the forests
ReplyDeleteWe love Arizona's parks too Karen. It's a bear to get reservations though. We had to make them in August and were still only able to get 3 or 4 days in a row.
