Quartzsite transforms from a desert town of 1,900 into Arizona's temporary largest city each January when over a million visitors descend for the legendary gem and mineral shows. Located on I-10 between Phoenix and Los Angeles, it's easily reached via major highways, with Route 95 connecting north to Las Vegas. The massive RV gatherings and swap meets make this tiny La Paz County community famous nationwide.
