If you want to cowboy up while on vacation, the Northwest Region is the place to be. As town folk like to say, “You should spend the day, out Wickenburg way.” Wickenburg was once home to the richest gold lode in Arizona. While the area’s Vulture Mine was long ago played out, Wickenburg retains its rustic gold rush image. So if bola ties and Western art are on your shopping list, remember Wickenburg features shops with names like Buckshot Babe’s, Old Livery Mercantile, Smith and Western and Copperstate Cowboy,. It’s the kind of place you can stroll through while licking homemade ice cream cones and imagining the days of yesteryear. Restaurants like the Twin Wheels Cafe’ have hearty food and the chance to catch up on town happenings from locals while you soak up the western atmosphere. On a different note, this region features Lake Pleasant. Even if you don’t get out on the water for fishing, boating or jet-skiing, The Waterfront Bar and Grille lets you enjoy the scenery in air conditioned comfort while sipping on cool drinks, like the regionally popular Margarita. If a few sips of the salty senorita drink gets you wanting to make a big splash, the harbor area also features gift shops with fashionable swimsuits and other ensembles.
