A good vintage crawl should feel like an adventure, not a list of grocery pickups you’ve made on a Monday.

This North route stretches from Cave Creek and Sweetwater to Shea and Scottsdale. Start at either end, or jump in wherever makes sense for you.

Make the crawl your own

Our selections are fun and different enough to keep things interesting: a surprisingly polished vendor market, serious antiques, a neighborhood favorite for lunch, designer resale and a record store that might be the best reason to make the drive.
