Cool Arizona Places: Wickenburg


Just 60 miles northwest of Downtown Phoenix in the Northern reaches of the great southwest’s Sonoran Desert. Wickenburg is noted for its clean air, good country living, western hospitality and all-around high quality of life.

Walk the downtown area in search of rattlesnakes, gila monsters, tarantulas and road runners.  There are also 6 large sculptures that have a historic narrative to them.  Don’t miss all the new sculptures in the downtown. 

Tour the historic Vulture Mine and learn about the rich gold strike as well as Vulture City Ghost Town. Summer hours are on Saturdays only from 10:00-noon.  You must be at the gate by 10:00 am to be taken on a ½ mile guided walking tour at a cost of $10.  Gates open at 9:30.  For reservations contact vulture_mine@yahoo.com

Check out the lush riparian area called the Hassayampa River Preserve, where water rises above ground, and hiking trails take you around the preserve area.

 Feel the genuine Western hospitality of this 148-year-old community, by taking the Historical Walking Tour through downtown.  The Chamber of Commerce is located in the old train depot next to the Old 761 Santa Fe Steam Locomotive on Frontier Street, once block west of US-93 

Put on your shoes for a stroll thru Wickenburg Legends and Ghost Stories.  Join Hassayampa Heather on a walking tour of historic Wickenburg. Colorful characters lead you on lantern lit tours lasting approximately 90 minutes.

Visit the Jail tree that once served as the town jail.  This 200 year old mesquite tree is located at the corner of US-60 (Wickenburg Way) and US-93.

 Our many outdoor activities can provide you relaxing fun on the golf course, hiking trails, jeep tours, horseback rides, ropings and rodeos throughout the year.
