“When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing - just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs, or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park?” ~Ralph Marston
HIGH DESERT PARK
19001 Jacie Lane, Black Canyon City, AZ
Black Canyon City is located in Central Arizona near the border of Maricopa/ Yavapai County, just 30 miles north of Phoenix. The town is situated in the Bradshaw Mountain foothills, along the Agua Fria River in Black Canyon below Black Mesa. It is accessible from Interstate 17 at exits 242 & 244, about 15 minutes north of Anthem/New River. The elevation is approximately 2000 feet (1000 feet higher than most of Phoenix), so temperatures are about 10 degrees cooler up here. Enjoy the fresh air and scenic mountain views!
