Cave Creek Trail Rides

The Cave Creek Trail Rides is a family friendly environment that offers guided trail rides through the Sonoran Desert. Located along the foothills north of Phoenix, Arizona, trail goers may experience the landscape and trails associated with the historical areas of Cave Creek and Scottsdale, Arizona. Real life cowboys and cowgirls lead the guided tours through this historical area introducing the mining history related to the land, unique flora, and fauna seen covering the region.

While closed during the hot Arizona summer months, the trail rides are typically open for business throughout the remainder of the year except on all major holidays. Safety is very important at the Cave Creek Trail Rides facility and because of this, children ages six and older are allowed to ride. Complimentary pony rides are given to all children under the age of six to ensure that they do not feel left out. It is recommended that the pony wrangler and handler be given a tip after the ride.

The rides are a service partner of the Maricopa County Parks and Recreation and are located along 32nd Street North just off of the Carefree Highway. The rides are found between Interstate 17 and Scottsdale Road, just inside the park.
