Get Outside!

Early November is a lovely time to be in Arizona. If you're feeling adventurous and want to get out into the desert for a few hours, we'd recommend the following! Hike Camelback Mountain This is no easy feat, but no one will tell if you turn around halfway up the Moutain and go grab brunch (go to El Chorro for killer food and views). There are two trailheads, Echo Canyon and Cholla. Echo is the more difficult trail. Both trails take about 2-3 hours to complete and parking can be hard to find, especially at Echo or on the weekends. Visit Papago Park You can explore the park, which is super cool with red butte rocks and palm trees, or you can do a short hike here. The most popular hike is called Hole in the Rock and is only 0.3 miles. Golfing About 20 minutes from the venue is TPC Scottsdale. We'd also recommend checking out Mountain Shadows (beautiful par 3 course) or golf at our venue, McCormick Ranch Golf Club.

Casino Arizona at Talking Stick Resort

Also check out Casino Arizona located on 92nd Street if you're feeling lucky.

McDowell Sonoran Preserve

Afterwards grab lunch/brunch at Megan's favorite place in Arizona, the Vig McDowell Mountain.
