Quartzsite: The Gathering Place
The Winter weather in Quartzsite is just about perfect. Many visitors from northern climates come here for the endless Summer or the vast areas for hiking and ATVing. Many others come for the big shows and still more come for the markets and swap meets selling everything imaginable for the home or RV. But there are more to consider beyond those major draws:
