It always amazes me how many people in Phoenix don't know about the historic mining town of Crown King, located on 90 min north of Phoenix. Pine trees, cool weather and a small-town atmosphere that you just can't get anywhere else! A great place to retire or just spend your weekends enjoying the variety of town events. We even have a 2-room "little red school house" that provides the K-8 education for children who live in Crown King year-round.
26-Miles of dirt road winding through the
Bradshaw Mountains with incredible views
and a good chance to spot wildlife like gila
monsters, tarantulas, foxes, maybe even a
mountain lion!
1. N on I-17 from Phoenix
2. Exit on #248 Bumble Bee exit
3. Turn left and follow dirt road
4. Pass through the "Ghost-Towns" of
Bumble Bee & Cleator
Use caution on switchbacks and
one-lane bridges!
