Anyone up for some yummy homemade fudge? Well, this is just one of the many things I took advantage of while traveling through the town of Crown King, Arizona, just a couple weeks back. I find it truly fulfilling to have a husband who equally shares my interest in just short day trips at the spur of the moment. My sister Chris rode along with us on this trip as well.
Crown King, which is shortened from it's original name Crowned King Mine, is nestled in the Bradshaw mountains in the Prescott National Forest. There is plenty of history to learn from this old mining ghost town. If you arrive at Crown King hungry or thirsty, don't worry they have you covered at the CK Saloon, established in 1906 and CK Cafe. The bar is stocked and the menu has some great choices. If your a vegetarian, don't worry they have veggie burgers, and they go great with an ice cold beer. If your in the mood for fudge, visit the CK general store. I am not kidding, they have fabulous fudge and so many varieties. They will ship this fudge to wherever you would like also. What a great idea for birthday's or even Christmas. Don't forget to take advantage of the many wonderful souvenirs they have as well. I walked out of there with fudge, and two books. The prices are very reasonable as well.

Lodging and Camping are just some of the many amenities they offer.
