Car Camping in The Verde Valley
It's a beautiful evening in the Verde Valley, near Cottonwood, tonight. So tranquil in the high desert at 3,755 feet elevation. Cottonwood began as a small adobe where soldiers took refuge in 1874.
Soon, settlers began moving in, and created a place whose namesake is a
circle of 16 cottonwood trees near the Verde River. The community was
established in 1879 and incorporated in 1960. On an obscure note the Verde Valley was the setting for the sci-fi thriller movie Kingdom of the Spiders starring William Shatner.
