They really have everything you could possibly need!

We usually head here for souvenirs. I love this little shop that has something for everyone.

You can find a foreign-made item with Arizona stamped on it anywhere but there is nothing like the excitement of a kid who gets a geode (reasonably priced) and discovers something magical inside. I've even managed to fall in love with metal yard art while the relatives fight over hats or tee shirts. The owners are friendly (not so sure about their little dog) and are eager to assist without being pushy.
