Be sure and visit the Carefree Sundial and Desert Garden Park. Carefree and Cave Creek had a number of very nice restaurants that we enjoyed: Keeler’s, Harolds, Local Jonnies, and the Tom Tom (I may have that name wrong - It might be Tonto).

If you are planning a relaxing vacation to Phoenix or Scottsdale, try Carefree. You wont regret it. Small town vibe with plenty of great places to eat & drink. And don't miss the rodeo at the Buffalo Chip every Wed and Friday (and it's free !!).
