Aguila

Aguila is in western Maricopa County and is located in the McMullen Valley between the husky Harquahala and Harcuvar Mountains on U. S. Highway 60. Wickenburg is approximately 20 miles to the east. The southwest also holds a lot of history and many historic places have been restored for you to see. Some think Aguila got its name from a stagecoach driver while another says it came from the shape of the mountains. The Mexicans named it “Pico de Aguila” (eagle’s beak). Aguila is known for its fertile valley that produces the best cantaloupes. New businesses and people are coming to the area everyday. Aguila offers all the outdoor activities that the area is known for. Hiking, biking, camping, and golfing are all nearby are unforgettable. Visitors will enjoy taking a drive up the Harquahala Mountains on Eagle Eye Road. The road heads south up the eastern edge of the mountain range. When the pavement ends, the spectacular views begin. It is a trip you will remember.
