The wash floor affords miles of easy, sandy trails for riders of all skill levels. Cottonwood and tamarisk trees provide shade and places for birds to nest. There is no cactus in the wash making the area safe for both the horses and their riders.

Queen Creek was just a farming community when Arizona became a state in 1912. Indians had used the fertile land below the San Tan Mountains and the land along Queen Creek for farming. Pioneer settlers did the same, growing citrus trees, cotton, pecans and vegetables. The residents prided themselves on their independence but also on their sense of community and willingness to help one another—virtues that are still alive and well in Chandler Heights and Queen Creek today. Churches and the post office still act as gathering places and town dances and picnics are as popular today as they were when the town was a fledgling village. The annual 4th of July celebration is a Chandler Heights and Queen Creek tradition. The quiet rural atmospheres of Chandler Heights and Queen Creek, combined with strong community bonds and a carefree attitude, make these towns a great place to call home.
