There are several hiking trails around the Superstition Mountain Range. Flatiron and Peralta trails are local favorites. Just make sure to bring sunscreen and TONS of water. Yes... even in the winter months.
Downtown Gilbert is one of our favorite local spots! Bars and restaurants that we frequent include: Postino (absolute favorite- if you want to see where Chris and Ali met, go to the Annex location in Tempe!), Joyride, Snooze, Liberty Market, OHSO Brewing, Culinary Dropout, Zinburger, Bario Queen, Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row. There are SO many additional restaurants that we have yet to visit.
The Farm is a fun spot for outdoor dining, surrounded by cute coffee shops, and other bars and restaurants.
