Things To Do
Granite Mountain Hotshots Memorial State Park
This one-way trail is seven miles round-trip; you must hike up and back to the parking area. Please dress appropriately, bring adequate water, food and plan for a four hour plus round-trip hike. There is no access to drinking water along the trail. Those making the seven-mile hike should begin before 12 p.m. and carry a flashlight in the event hiking out after dark becomes necessary. The hike back to the trailhead will take about two hours. Please plan accordingly. Please pack in and pack out any trash. Leashed dogs are welcome on the trail and owners must pick up after them.
Antelope Canyon
Book your tour with Ken's Tours. They were so helpful when we went last year. Definitely a must! Try and book this the same day you will head to the Grand Canyon. They're all very close by to one another.
Horseshoe Bend Observation Area
This is the south east part of the Grand Canyon! If you book a tour of Antelope Canyon, this is on your way towards Grand Canyon National Park. You don't want to miss this either!
Grand Canyon National Park
Obviously you have to stop and see one of the seven wonders of the world!
Sedona, Arizona
Everything in Sedona is AMAZING! We love hiking Devils Bridge, hitting up breweries, feasting in local cuisine, and just soaking in the beauty of the red rocks! Sedona is also known to be very spiritual and known for it's vortexes.
Flagstaff
if you're looking to get out of the valley and into some snow, be sure to drive up to Flagstaff! The elevation of Flagstaff is higher then Denver :). Great food, people, and breweries!
Camelback Mountain
If you need a great hike with a beautiful view- this is the place you want to be. Heads up parking is obnoxious so be sure to get their very early. We suggest getting dropped off by Uber or parking in a nearby neighborhood and walking to the trails. Bring and drink plenty of water and snacks! If you're looking for a straight incline, be sure to take the Echo Canyon trail. If you're like Laura and need the easier route (but definitely not easy) take the Cholla Trail.
The Ostrich
Get your Speakeasy on with authentic and hand crafted drinks! This bar is literally located underneath the venue/hotel.
SanTan Brewing Company - San Marcos
Chandler local and it's right next door to the venue!
San Tan Flat
Want a good steak and some great country music? You have to come check out this restaurant! Plus it's right down the street from our house, therefore more of an excuse to come.
