Great 14 mile drive north on Cave Creek Road to enjoy the desert views, at Carefree and Cave Creek itself there are a range of art galleries and restaurants and the iconic Boulder Resort.
Especially great drive during the spring when the Arizona wildflowers are in bloom. This should be a good year with lots of rain, the desert is very green.
On Fridays, there is a Farmers Market at 1 Sundial Circle that operates from 9AM - 1PM October-May. During the summer time shifts to 8-11 AM

Lot's of shops and restaurants, great Saturday Farmers market during the fall and winter. Also nearby on many Sundays in the winter is a free event A’Fair at Scottsdale Civic Center Mall, next to Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts and Scottsdale Contemporary Art Museum, a staple event for more than 30 years, transforming the park into a space that picnickers and art fans enjoy, and providing music lovers with an opportunity to hear the best Arizona-based artists for a relaxing afternoon of great entertainment. A pop-up arts market and fun activities for children and families will change each Sunday, making no two A’Fairs the same.

Truly a wonderful way to better understand the Sonoran Desert, close to Sky Harbor Airport so a great place to walk off the effects of sitting in a plane for a few hours or a great last stop before catching an afternoon plane. It opens at 8 AM.
They also have Gertrudes, a well recognized restaurant and through out the year special weekend and night events.
Through May 12th they have a nightly Electric Desert event which looks amazing.

Great set of easy to moderate hiking trails directly north, it is about a 15-20 minute drive on the scenic part of the Cave Creek Road on the way to Carefree and Cave Creek. Especially great when wildflowers are blooming in the spring.
