WORLD’S
Highest Fountain
A Celebration of Water in the Desert At its full height of 560 feet, the fountain in the center of Fountain Hills is higher than the Washington Monument. It is also 10 feet taller than Notre Dame Cathedral, 110 feet higher than the Great Pyramid of Cheops in Egypt and three times as high as Old Faithful Geyser in Yellowstone Park. The white plume of the world famous fountain is visible far beyond Fountain Hills, the town that has taken its name from the landmark. It can be seen from as far away as the Superstition Mountains, Carefree and even from aircraft. It was created in 1970 to attract tourists and At its full potential property buyers. height of Today, the fountain is the focal point for community 560 feet celebrations and the pride of its residents. In years past, fireworks exploded around its lofty heights and during the Great Fair, hot air balloons drifted over its lake. If you happen to visit during the St. Patrick’s Day celebration, you’ll see the fountain transform to bright green. The pump is powered by three 500 HP pumps, which force 70,000 gallons of reclaimed water per minute through an 18-inch nozzle specially designed and built by Switzerland’s Institute of Hydraulic Research. This fountain is a celebration of life and water where it is most appreciated – in the middle of the desert.

Destination Fort McDowell 10438 N. Fort McDowell Road, 480.789.5300 Come home to Arizona’s Destination, Fort McDowell. Visit our Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation for the ultimate destination for food, fun and relaxation. Petroglyphs Archaic and Hohokam Cultures For thousands of years, gently sloping land, fertile soil and water have attracted people to the Lower Verde Valley. Ancient petroglyphs and artifacts indicate that as early as 1000 B.C., archaic people followed seasonal routes along waterways to hunt and harvest plants. Primitive gardening eventually evolved into complete agricultural systems and permanent settlements. Over 10,000 people lived along the Lower Verde Valley around 1000 A.D. One city, dubbed Azatlan by archaeologists, had four ball courts, canals, trash mounds, firepits, tools and pottery. The Hohokam trade network stretched from the Pacific Coast to the Great Plains. Unpredictable water flows may have led to the disintegration of Hohokam culture.
The Yavapai – The Early Years Although no one knows exactly when they arrived, the Yavapai inhabited much of Central Arizona when the Spaniards arrived in the late sixteenth century. As nomadic hunter-gatherers, the Yavapai’s life was directed by the cycles of plants and animals. The arrival of gold prospectors and settlers disrupted the Yavapai way of life and they were often mistaken for the more aggressive Apache, leading to conflicts. Facing starvation, many Yavapai surrendered and lived on the Rio Verde Reservation near Camp Verde. In February 1875, they were forced to make a 150-mile exodus to San Carlos Reservation through freezing and flooding streams and rugged mountains. Scores died during the two-week trek, and 25 babies were born along the Yavapai’s “Trail of Tears.” The Yavapai could not return to their home for 30 years. Explorers, Trappers and Prospectors Spanish explorers first discovered and named the Verde River in the 1500s, but little historical record exists until the 1820s when trapper Ewing Young wrote in his diaries about his experiences here. In a battle with Apaches at the confluence of the Verde and Salt rivers, his party of 24 men was reduced to six. He returned the next year with Kit Carson as a member of his group and recorded trapping as many as 30 beaver per night. Prospectors found traces of gold, silver and copper in the McDowell Mountains, but no commercially profitable mines were ever developed. VisitFHFM.com •

History
& Heritag e
C o n t i n u e d
Cavalry Days Fort McDowell, named for General Irvin McDowell, was established in 1865 to subdue hostile Indians hiding in the Verde-Salt River Wilderness. After several years of campaigns and conflicts, bands led by Chalipun surrendered to General Crook in 1873. Troops remained to settle confrontations between Maricopa and Pima Indians and white settlers. The post Yavapai Baskets was closed in 1890. On September 15, 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt signed an executive order granting the land to the Yavapai as a reservation and they returned home in the 1950s. Ranching and Farming In the 1860s and 1870s, the relatively water-rich lower 15 miles of the Verde Valley was one of the most productive places for both farming and ranching, while the presence of troops at Fort McDowell provided protection. Ranches in the area included the Box Bar near Rio Verde, the Pemberton Ranch, now a part of McDowell Mountain Park, and the P-Bar Ranch where Fountain Hills is today. There is still a small amount of ranching near Four Peaks and Pinnacle Peak Fountain Hills and the Lake That Never Was Fountain Hills owes its origin to a lake that never came to be. As part of the Central Arizona Project (CAP), construction of Orme Dam, near Granite Reef Dam, would have created a lake at the Fort McDowell Indian Reservation. The lake would have flooded the homes of Fort McDowell residents. The Yavapai and environmentalists defeated the dam proposal. Robert P. McCulloch envisioned a community of 70,000 people similar to one of McCulloch Properties’ other master-planned communities – Lake Havasu City. The development was marketed with a “fly-before-you-buy” sales program, beginning in 1972. Prospective buyers were flown in from Midwestern and Eastern cities to tour the desert ridges in white Jeeps and select their properties. The 560-foot-high “World’s Highest Fountain” was the concept of C.V. Wood, Jr., a planner for McCulloch Properties, Inc., who had worked with Walt Disney on designing Disneyland. It was built to attract attention and buyers. It was turned on for the first time on Dec. 15, 1970, the “birthday” of Fountain Hills. Today, the population is around 24,000, with build-out expected at around 35,000 residents. Modern Day Fort McDowell The people of Fort McDowell have surmounted many obstacles to return to and keep their land. They have developed several industries, including farming, sand and gravel operations, a gas station, a casino and Fort McDowell Adventures. A crisis came in 1992 when the FBI came to confiscate their slot machines. The tribe prevented their removal by barricading exits with large trucks and equipment. Their stand resulted in the passage of Proposition 202 in 2002, assuring that gaming can continue. Since then, the tribe has built the acclaimed We-Ko-Pa Golf Club, the Fort McDowell Radisson Resort, and the Eagle View RV Resort. They are also investing in businesses outside of the reservation, assuring a strong future for the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation.

Fountain Hills & Fort McDowell Although the Town of Fountain Hills and the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation are only 23 miles northeast of Phoenix, it feels as if they are a world away. The communities are only 20 minutes from Sky Harbor International Airport but they are separated from the hustle and traffic of Scottsdale and the metro area by the scenic McDowell Mountains. The area is wreathed by majestic mountains, draped in the unique vegetation of the Sonoran Desert and blessed with panoramic views. The saguaro-studded landscape provides a scenic venue for a wide range of outdoor activities such as golfing, hiking, biking, bird watching and boating. Fountain Hills - A Community Of Art Lovers Fountain Hills has become known as an artist’s community. Sculptures, water features and other works of art adorn the Community Center, the Avenue of the Fountains and public places. Twice a year, The Great Fair and the Fountain Festival of Arts and Crafts attract hundreds of thousands of art lovers to the downtown area. Galleries and small shops make it easy for shoppers to find their own art year round. And, the award-winning Fountain Hills Community Theater is one of Arizona’s leading performing arts organizations. Fun At Fort McDowell Fort McDowell has become widely known for its casino and its live entertainment. In addition, its visitors can enjoy 36 holes of golf at the acclaimed We-Ko-Pa Golf Club.

McDowell Mountain Regional Park This 21,099-acre regional park is located four miles north of Fountain Hills. The competitive track has three loop tracks; a long loop – 8.2 miles, a sport loop – 3.0 miles, and a technical loop – 2.9 miles. Skills are tested while negotiating steep inclines, swooping turns, technical descents and rugged terrain at race speed. A pump track has been added to the Competitive Track trailhead. This twisting combination of table tops, rollers and banked turns is a great way to improve weight shifting and bike handling skills. McDowell Mountain Park has over 50 miles of hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding trails through beautiful desert scenery. Wildlife sightings are common; look for deer, Javelina, coyotes and a multitude of bird species around the three ponds on the park. A couple of trails are less than a mile long; several are one to four miles; and the popular Pemberton Trail is 15.3 miles. Elevations rise from 1,600 feet to 3,000 feet at the base of the McDowell Mountains. The entire park faces the Four Peaks, Weaver’s Needle and Superstition Mountains and provides awesome views.

Landmarks
Mount McDowell – Rugged Red Rock a.k.a. Red Mountain, a.k.a. FireRock One of the most prominent landmarks near Fountain Hills and Fort McDowell is the jagged outline of Red Mountain, at 2,830 feet high. Some people see a bearded face in the tallest knob. The deep cleft on its western flank is known as “Gunsight” because of its resemblance to the narrow slot in a fort used for firing at attackers. The mountain is composed of sandstone conglomerate, which gives it a distinctive red color that glows dramatically in the last rays of day. Some call it FireRock. The mountain was officially named Mount McDowell after General Irvin McDowell, who was responsible for the creation of a nearby military post in 1865. It, too, bore his name as Camp McDowell and later Fort McDowell. The mountain is sacred to Indian tribes, including the local Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation. Four Peaks – Purple Mountain Majesty The lyrics “purple mountains’ majesty” could have been written for these peaks. They change with the light from lavender to violet to deep purple. Fittingly, the world’s finest amethyst is found high on its slopes. The wilderness area surrounding the peaks is prime habitat for black bear and various wildlife. Visible from much of the Phoenix Metro area, this mountain is one of the area’s highest points at 7,657 feet. Visitors and residents of Fountain Hills and Fort McDowell have grandstand seats for the daily spectacle of the sun rising dramatically behind Four Peaks. And when lightning plays about the peaks, it is not hard to imagine the mountain spirits of Yavapai lore. McDowell Mountains – Ancient Roots Some of the oldest rock in Arizona makes up the McDowell Mountain Range to the west of Fountain Hills and Fort McDowell. The range’s highest is McDowell Peak, at 4,034 feet. The rounded mountain to the south is Fire Necklace Mountain, named when a fire burned down its slopes, encircling it. Indians found shelter here, as evidenced by petroglyphs and artifacts. Prospectors sought mineral wealth but discovered only limited amounts of gold, silver and copper. The real wealth of these mountains is their beauty and wildlife.

Mazatzal Mountains – “Land of the Deer” North and northeast of the area are the Mazatzal Mountains, some of the most inaccessible country in Arizona. The Mazatzal Wilderness contains over 252,500 acres and extends north to the Mogollon Rim, near Payson. Geologists believe the range was once as high as the present-day Himalaya Mountains. Erosion and mountain-building events created a tortured landscape. Mazatzal is from an old Indian culture in Mexico, and is sometimes pronounced “Mahzahtzahl,” meaning “land of the deer.” Deer still roam there, along with javelina, coyotes, bears and mountain lions. Locals often say “Matt’-uh-zal,” which sounds like “Mad as Hell,” the name of a local ranch – probably given after the owner chased his cows through the wilderness. The Verde River – Wild and Scenic The Verde is Arizona’s only “Wild and Scenic” river. It was given the designation by Congress in 1984. Canoers, kayakers and fishermen pit themselves against the river’s challenges between Camp Verde and Horseshoe Lake. For much of those 58 miles, the river flows through the Mazatzal Wilderness with level I, II, and III rapids. Shortly after passing through Fort McDowell, the Verde joins the Salt River near Red Mountain. The Salt River – Nurturing the Valley of the Sun The Salt River was a challenge for early settlers, with either too much or too little water. But, after Roosevelt Dam and four other dams were built, it became a source of both water and power for the Phoenix metro area. Today, it also provides water recreation. Saguaro Lake is the closest of its four scenic lakes. Upstream from it are Canyon Lake, Apache Lake and Roosevelt Lake. VisitFHFM.com •

Art on the Avenue & Farmer’s Market Every Thursday, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. (October – April) Visit downtown Fountain Hills and see photography, artwork, jewelry and sculpture created by local artisans. Shop for items including produce, baked goods and specialty foods at the farmers market.
The L. Alan Cruishank River of Time Museum Water has always played an important role in the Lower Verde Valley, where Fort McDowell, Fountain Hills and the Verde Communities are located. By leading visitors through creative settings and informative exhibits, The River of Time Museum in Fountain Hills recounts the captivating past of this desert valley. Here you’ll trace the steps of ancient people who passed through the Valley following the river for game and water. Learn about the large communities that grew here centuries ago and why they disappeared. As you pass beneath a shade ramada, you’ll learn how the Yavapai migrated throughout Central Arizona, moving with the seasons and the availability of food. Continue on with explorers and trappers such as Kit Carson and Ewing Young as they travel the river routes. Enter a mine as prospectors look for gold and find amethyst. Learn about Fort McDowell and the struggle to bring peace to the Valley. Then join the “river tamers,” as they build dams and canals. See how “the dam that never was” brought about the development of Fountain Hills. Check out the changing exhibit gallery and the River Bank Gift Store. The River of Time Museum has something new around every bend. The River of Time Museum is located in the Library Museum Building at 12901 N. La Montana Blvd., Fountain Hills. Call 480.837.2612 for hours and tour information or go to: riveroftimemuseum.org.

Art Lovers & Artists Fountain Hills is known as an artist’s community. A collection of 92 pieces of public art can be enjoyed from just about any angle. Sculptures, water features and other works of art adorn the Joy of Music downtown streets, plazas, parks and other public places. By 2012 the Public Art Committee plans to have 100 pieces of art in place for the Arizona Centennial. Docent-led art walk tours are available the first Saturday of every month from November through April and can also be arranged by special appointment for groups by calling 480.816.5151. An art walk map is also available at kiosks and online for those who wish to conduct their own selfguided tour. No matter where you begin, if you take in all of the artwork, over a day or several days, you will find that you have also taken in different parts of the world. For example, there are Shona sculptures from West Africa, which express relationships among people, animals, and spirits. And you will encounter different times in history, such as when Westerners depended on the horse, and when Theodore Roosevelt (he’s near the Fountain Plaza) championed the creation of national parks. In the Community Center Sculpture Garden you’ll encounter, abstract, whimsical, realistic and Native American inspired George the Tortoise pieces. Visit our newest sculpture, Power of Thought, located in the circle between the Community Center and the Library. Visitors and residents also delight in the generous amount of artwork with an appeal to children, making it an excellent introduction to art. Even those just beginning to read will see (once they peek over the sculpture mom’s shoulder) what book is featured in A Good Book, just outside the library. George the Tortoise at the Fountain Park can be admired at the close range children prefer, and several pieces feature children. You can preview all the art at fountainhillspublicart.com. The high concentration of artists living in Fountain Hills and the surrounding area led to the development of the Fountain Hills Artists’ Gallery, a unique gallery owned and operated entirely by the artists who display and sell their work there. In the gallery you will find paintings in oil, watercolor, acrylic, pastel A Good Book and mixed media, sculptures, jewelry, ceramics, photography and more.
