Things To Do

Our Favorite Restaurants

Chico Malo

This is our favorite spot for Mexican food!

Vincitorio's

The BEST Italian restaurant that reminds us of spots back east and for Kelsey, Italy. This is the most authentic place we have found. Great atmosphere with live music most nights and friendly staff. We will be doing our rehearsal dinner here, but for the guests not involved that night, you should check this spot out for dinner one night.

Olive & Ivy

Yummy food close to a lot of other places to visit in Scottsdale!

Our Favorite Bars

Boondocks Patio & Grill Scottsdale

One of our favorite Old Town Scottsdale classic patio bars. You can also check out The Hot Chick next door and Wasted Grain a few blocks away, which are also favorite spots of ours.

Outrider Rooftop Lounge

Awesome rooftop bar in Old Town Scottsdale with unique drinks and views.

Copper Blues Rock Pub & Kitchen

So much fun and pretty much always has live music!

Our Favorite Hikes

Papago Park Double Butte Loop Trail

Easy Hike 2.2 mi 114 ft Elevation Gain Also check out Hole in the Rock for an awesome sunset view that is a quick and easy hike in this park!

McDowell Sonoran Preserve Gateway Loop Trail

Moderate Hike 4.4 mi 721 ft Elevation Gain

Camelback Mountain via Echo Canyon Trail

HARD Hike 2.6 mi 1,522 ft Elevation Gain Please wake up early for this hike as the parking lot gets very busy and fills up quick.

Our Favorite Day Trip Destinations

Goldfield Ghost Town and Mine Tours Inc.

Want to really feel like you are in the old west? This is the place to go and check out for the day! You can just walk around or check out the tours they offer as well. About 40 min from Scottsdale.

Sedona

There's hiking, restaurants, amazing mountain views and so much more in Sedona. About 2 hours from Scottsdale. We highly recommend making the trip out there if you have time to check it out!

Flagstaff

A really cute and quaint downtown that also has a ton of hiking to explore. There may be snow there in March as it is more north and at higher elevation. About 2.5 hours from Scottsdale.

Luke's Golf Recommenadtions

Painted Mountain Golf Resort

This course also includes a delicious Italian restaurant!

Longbow Golf Club

Very nicely kept course with incredible mountain views. Your ideal desert golf course.

Kelsey's Recommendations

Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia

Arizona is known for its spas! I went to this one and had a lovely and relaxing day.

Horseback Riding

Kelsey went horseback riding during her bachelorette party and this stable was AMAZING! Everyone loved it, even the girls that were nervous beforehand since they had never been on a horse. It is a very scenic and beautiful area that you ride through. The staff is kind and the horses are well trained, so they are great for any level rider. HIGHLY recommended this activity to get that Arizona cowboy feel while you're here!
