La Paz

La Paz County combines wide-open desert quiet with Quartzsite’s seasonal bustle in a way that reflects its position between the Colorado River and Arizona’s interior desert. The Colorado forms the county’s western boundary with California and supports river communities such as Parker, contrasting with the dry basins and rugged ranges farther east. The county is named for the former Colorado River settlement of La Paz, now a ghost-town site near Parker. Each winter, Quartzsite draws RV travellers to major gem and mineral shows. Public lands, desert roads and the river corridor define this expansive corner of western Arizona.
