What it’s like
The place. Crown King is a small mountain town in Yavapai County, where many residents are older and, across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners. Winters are cool and summer afternoons run hot. Snow is light and rain is modest, so the town tends to feel dry much of the year. Neighbours often know one another well.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in professional and business services, or in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Yavapai County, unemployment has risen over the past year and the number of jobs has dipped slightly. Relatively few people work from home, so most go out to a workplace each day.
Things to do. Horsethief Basin Lake is a reservoir in or beside town, which makes it the easiest outing. Watson Lake, a lake a longer drive away, and the Sharlot Hall Museum, also a longer drive away, suit a fuller day out.
