Things To Do

Kierland Commons & The Scottsdale Quarter

This is a great outdoor shopping and dining area in Scottsdale! Some of our favorite restaurants include The Greene House, North, Culinary Dropout, Postino, and True Food.

Old Town Scottsdale

Old Town Scottsdale is a Southwest themed, walkable area full of boutiques, restaurants, bars, night clubs, hotels, museums and art galleries, and performing arts centers. You can find any type of food you are looking for. Whether you are craving an upscale Mexican steakhouse (Toca Madera), delicious fast casual Italian (Sauce), fresh salad/sandwich cafe (Original Chopshop), fun tiki bar (Hula's Modern Tiki), classic pizza (Grimaldi's Pizzeria), or anything in between, you are sure to have a great dining experience. For a night on the town, look no further than the entertainment district for night clubs such as Maya, Bottled Blonde, Boondocks, and Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row. And don't forget dessert! Recommendations include Sugar Bowl, Insomnia Cookies, and gelato.

Phoenix Mountain Preserve - 40th St. Trailhead

A beautiful place to hike and explore, right around the corner from the Burke residence.

Camelback Mountain

This is one of Megan's all time favorite hikes - be warned that it is difficult, but the view from the top is beautiful! Echo Canyon and Cholla are the two trail options - Echo Canyon is harder, and Cholla is slightly longer. Both are incredible, just make sure to bring lots of water!
