Scottsdale, AZ

About

East of Phoenix and in the heart of the Arizona desert lies Scottsdale. As one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, Scottsdale is a lovely desert city with more spas per capita than anywhere else in the country. With warm, mild winters, the city also offers a great place to soak up the sun. Hike to the top of Camelback mountain for gorgeous rugged scenery and views of the surrounding city, or cruise through the desert on an ATV or off-road vehicle. Spend an afternoon relaxing with a massage at one of the tranquil spas, then dine in the Old Town that evening. Lined with old-fashioned shops with a Western flair, Old Town is an excellent place for food, entertainment and shopping.
