Things To Do
Gateway Trailhead - McDowell Sonoran Preserve
A great day hiking trail system! Emily grew up near these mountains.
South Mountain Park and Preserve
Another great trail system in Phoenix! Conrad grew up near these mountains.
Matt's Big Breakfast
We love Matt's Big Breakfast and are regularly seen here when we should definitely be eating the food at our house!
First Watch - W. Thomas Road
Emily's dad has worked for First Watch for 27 years! Since she grew up with breakfast food, Conrad now deals with unreasonable demands for all things breakfast. We recommend trying this Thomas location as it is one of the original AZ sites, and her dad helped open it!
Arizona Wilderness DTPHX
Great craft brewery with good food and a fantastic patio to enjoy our October weather!
Red Devil Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria
When we moved back to Phoenix after living in Argentina, we went on our first Phoenix date here. It's Conrad's favorite pizza place in the Valley!
Comedor Guadalajara
A Felix family favorite! Comedor Guadalajara has great Mexican food!
Desert Botanical Garden
One of our favorite date spots! The garden features beautiful desert landscapes and we've heard their restaurant is really good!
Tucson
Tucson has great desert hikes and it's the only UNESCO World Heritage Food Site in the U.S.! We'd recommend checking out the Saguaro National Park while you are there!
Sedona
We have had many Sedona adventures during our time together in Arizona! Our favorite hikes are Devil's Bridge (moderate) and Bear Mountain Trail (hard- Conrad can attest). Any spot along the creek is beautiful for an afternoon! Our traditional post-hike spot is Tortas de Fuego.
Flagstaff
We met and fell in love in this beautiful mountain town! Our favorite food spots are Fratelli's Pizza, MartAnne's Burrito Palace, Biff's Bagels, Satchmo's BBQ, and Macy's Cafe!
Grand Canyon
We went to the Grand Canyon together shortly before we started dating. It's truly one of the most majestic sties in Arizona. We highly recommend catching sunrise at the Canyon!
