Things To Do
Shopping, Food & Drinks
Paradise Valley Mall is just a short drive (and in some cases walking distance from our recommended hotel accommodations) and offers a great mix of shopping, dining, and entertainment. Trevor's Liquor at PV – One of our favorite local spots for craft cocktails, wood-fired pizza, and a fun atmosphere. The Melt – Perfect for a quick and delicious bite, featuring gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches, burgers, and comfort food favorites. Wren House Brewing Company at PV – A fantastic local brewery known for creative, award-winning beers and a relaxed atmosphere. Guests are welcome to order pizza and other food directly from Trevor’s to enjoy with their beer, and outside food is also welcome, making it a fun and flexible spot to relax with friends and family.
Hiking & Outdoor Adventures
November is one of the best times of year to enjoy Arizona’s beautiful desert scenery. Camelback Mountain – The Valley’s most iconic hike, offering incredible panoramic views. Piestewa Peak – Another popular and scenic hike with a slightly more accessible trail system. Phoenix Mountains Preserve – Great for guests looking for easier desert hikes and walking trails.
Golf
Arizona is known for world-class golf, and there are several excellent courses nearby. Stonecreek Golf Club – Located right next to the Embassy Suites hotel. Camelback Golf Club – Two championship courses with stunning mountain views. TPC Scottsdale – Home of the famous WM Phoenix Open.
Explore Scottsdale
Old Town Scottsdale is a must-visit for out-of-town guests and offers excellent restaurants, art galleries, boutique shopping, and vibrant nightlife.
For Our Fellow Climbers
If you enjoy climbing, we highly recommend visiting Black Rock Bouldering Gym. This is the gym where we first met and spent many of our earliest adventures together, so it holds a very special place in our story. Whether you're looking to get in a workout or simply check out one of our favorite local spots, it’s well worth a visit during your stay.
