Welcome

Desert Oasis. The Sonoran Desert makes a perfect backdrop for this Southwest destination. Ready to practice your swing in paradise? Golfers of all levels can perfect their game at one of many local championship courses in this unique high-desert terrain. You can also trek the desert on horseback or hike the red rocks. To get a bird’s eye view of the valley, take a ride on a hot-air balloon. Grab your pocket guide — it will help you spot the native flora and fauna — and your hiking boots before setting out for a day at McDowell Sonoran Preserve. Make sure to set aside a day for strolling and surveying the galleries, museums, boutiques and bistros of downtown Scottsdale.
