Things To Do
Anita's Cocina
Anita’s Cocina is the go-to local favorite in Wickenburg. For Britney, it’s more than just a restaurant; it’s where she and her friends would gather after school, swapping stories over plates of enchiladas and baskets of chips (lots of chips). So many memories have been made here, making it a must-visit spot for anyone wanting a true taste of the town.
The Jail Tree
The Jail Tree is a 200-year-old mesquite in downtown Wickenburg, once used in the late 1800s to chain up outlaws before the town had a jail. Today, it’s a quirky historic landmark, complete with a mannequin “prisoner” and signs sharing its Old West story... a fun, photo-worthy stop for visitors.
Mecca Bar And Grill
The Mecca is Wickenburg’s go-to watering hole and a true local favorite. Sure, the town doesn’t have a ton of bars to choose from, but this one has all the charm you need, western-inspired décor, a laid-back atmosphere, and a prime downtown location. It’s the perfect spot to grab a drink, soak in the small-town vibes, and feel like a local, even if you’re just passing through.
Vulture Peak Brewing Company
Vulture Peak Brewery is Wickenburg’s hometown craft brewery, serving up a rotating selection of beers and hard seltzers in a relaxed, welcoming space. It’s the perfect spot to kick back after a day of exploring, whether you’re a local or just visiting. Be sure to try Brit and Ivan’s favorites, the bold and flavorful Brasa beer and one of their refreshing Desert Drencher Cherry Limeade seltzers. It’s a must-visit for anyone wanting a true taste of Wickenburg.
Walking around downtown Wickenburg
Downtown Wickenburg is the perfect place to spend an afternoon exploring its unique shops, local restaurants, and Western charm. The area is walkable, easy to navigate, and offers plenty of parking, making it simple to stroll from store to store or stop for a bite to eat. The town is sprinkled with fun Western-themed murals that make for great photo ops and capture the spirit of Wickenburg!
Vulture Peak Trail
The trail starts wide and level and soon changes into a network of hills and washes. You will hike through these washes. As you progress, the trail begins to climb, leading you up through narrow switchbacks. The trail gives breathtaking views of the White Tanks. The ascent to the peak entails navigating a small ravine from the saddle.
