50 miles from the cabin, it would make for a long day trip but if you stop in here (near I-17 on the 260 just NW of Camp Verde) on your way up, you won’t be disappointed! It is in the desert, so probably not a great summer destination but if you’re headed up any other time of year, then it’s a great time to visit Out of Africa.
