Things To Do

Desert Botanical Garden

Spend an hour or two or three exploring this beautifully curated garden and learn what the desert has to offer. You may see some wildlife too!

Buck & Rider Phoenix

Fresh seafood flown in daily! Amazing happy hour specials. Fun, casual, don't miss it!

La Grande Orange Grocery & Pizzeria

Casual, order at the counter restaurant serving up the best pizza, salads and sandys. THE BEST iced tea (according to Becky) and be sure to not leave without a taste of their gelato. Super close to the Royal Palms

Tom's Thumb

Steve's Favorite: A medium to difficult hike in North Scottsdale that takes about 2 hours. Incredible views of the valley. Think StairMaster.

Pinnacle Peak Park Main Trail

Becky's favorite hike: A great workout, killer views, and fun for everyone. Medium difficulty out and back hike, stop by the farmers market on Saturdays 9am-1pm after your hike just down the road at 10428 E Jomax Rd, Scottsdale.

Camelback Mountain

There are two difficult but amazing hikes here, Cholla and Echo Canyon. Bring sunscreen, sun protection and lots of water :)

Grayhawk Golf Club

Incredible public golf course, Phil Mickelson had his start here and even helped design the Raptor course. All of the restaurants here are great too, we love Mojo for a fresh green juice and breakfast burrito :)
