Going from Phoenix through Wickenburg, to Quartzsite can be a trip within a trip. Stoping at all the little one street towns is a must, there is not much to look at, but if your a fan of small town life this is a perfect trip to take alone or with a friend. This is a very easy, boring ride... one of those rides, just to go for a ride at a nice easy pace and take in the sights.

Here is a Quartzite calendar loaded with events for you to choose from. If you like gems and minerals, hit the sales during the big “rock hound” events. If looking for bargains at flea markets is more your style, they offer a big Peddler’s Faire. Add in a mix of classic car shows, chili cook-offs and RV shows and sales and Crazy Quartzite could keep you mighty busy.
