With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy all that Maricopa, 20 miles away, has to offer. Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casino, Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club and The Duke at Rancho El Dorado alone make the drive out here worthwhile. The locals will also likely point you toward Florence, 25 miles away. If you only see one thing here, make sure it’s The Windmill Winery. (But we’re also huge fans of Poston Butte Golf Club and Pinal County Historical Society & Museum.)
