Buckskin Mountain State Park, located 12 miles north of Parker on Arizona Highway 95, is another one of the state’s most scenic locales. Spectacular views of the river and surrounding mountain ranges are available from any number of hiking trails and campsites.

Maricopa County is a prime location to find Arizona horse properties and there are generally a large number of listings in regions such as Scottsdale and Cave Creek. Scottsdale is a particularly good location as residents of the area have access to trails and bridle paths in both the Scottsdale Preserve and local national forests.
