Tons of great shopping, restaurants, bars, and nightlife! A few of our favorite bars are Boondocks, Wasted Grain, and Giligan's, but there are SO MANY good ones. Scottsdale Fashion Square mall is also very close to downtown for our shopaholics.
We love hiking this time of the year because of the great weather! Some of our favorite hikes in the valley are Camelback mountain (hard), any trails in the Phoenix Mountain Preserve (all levels), Hieroglyphic Trail (moderate, cool sights), Lost Dutchman State Park (all levels, paid entry but awesome views of the superstition mountains!), Papago Park, and so many more.
If you're feeling lucky, check out one of the closest and most well-known casinos in the area.
