40 fabulous things
List
the
that you can only do in Scottsdale, Arizona
By JoAnne Zeterberg & Candice Bemish
Whether you’re discovering Scottsdale for
the first time or rediscovering it as a favorite
vacation spot, chances are you’re on the hunt
for things to do — those hidden gems and
once-in-a-lifetime experiences that awaken
your adventurous spirit and speak directly
to your heart. Well, look no further! On the
following pages you’ll find Scottsdale’s very
own “Top 40” — a quintessential list of
activities, adventures and attractions that
promises unforgettable memories. So, without
further ado, let’s lead off Scottsdale’s hit
Explore the McDowell Sonoran Preserve Lace
up your hiking boots, slather on some sunscreen, grab a bottle of water and get ready
to explore one of the most magnificent natural
landscapes in the world. The McDowell Sonoran
Preserve, located in central Scottsdale, encompasses mountains, Sonoran Desert and wildlife
corridors that link open space in the Preserve
with open spaces in adjacent communities, the
Tonto National Forest and Maricopa County
Regional Park. The Preserve boasts well-maintained trails for hiking, biking and horseback
riding, and both individual and guided access
is available. When complete, the McDowell
Sonoran Preserve will be one of the largest
urban preserves in the nation and will protect
more than 36,000 acres of irreplaceable Sonoran
Desert land.

Hot-Air Ballooning Let the wind be your guide as you float over the Sonoran Desert in a hot-air balloon. From your perch

nearby mountain ranges. See page 111 for listings of local hot-air balloon companies.

Night-Vision Desert Tours Afraid of the
dark? Then grab your blankie and skip
ahead to the next item on “The List.”
Otherwise, get ready to plunge into a whole
new world as you explore the desert under
the inky blackness of the night sky! Nightvision off-road tours by Jeep or Hummer,
the perfect complement to their daytime
counterparts, provide a fascinating glimpse
into the nocturnal happenings of the
Sonoran Desert.

Equipped with high-tech thermal imaging and
night-vision scopes, you’ll spot coyotes, javelina, bobcats and other wildlife as your guide
entertains you with stories of the desert after
dark. Since most desert species are more active
when the sun goes down, particularly during
the summer months, night-vision tours offer
excellent opportunities to see animals in action.
And, if your guide offers to take you on a scorpion hunt, don’t pass it up! These common
desert insects have exoskeletons that fluoresce
under ultraviolet light and glow bright yellow
with night-vision equipment. There’s no
doubt about it – night-vision desert tours
are the ultimate nighttime adventure story!
Listings of Jeep and Hummer tour companies

Play on the Salt River Get your feet wet with a rafting, kayaking or tubing trip down the
Salt River! Located just east of Scottsdale, the Lower Salt River is a lush riparian area
offering abundant wildlife and desert foliage. See page 114 for information on guided
and self-guided Salt River excursions.

Hike Camelback Mountain If you’re looking for a challenging hike that rewards
you with miles-wide panoramic views of
Scottsdale and the Valley of the Sun, Camelback
Mountain is a “must-do” on your itinerary.
Named for its resemblance to a dozing dromedary, Camelback Mountain is a well-known
Valley landmark that was designated as an
Indian reservation in the late 1800s, then fell
into private hands during the 1940s. Thanks
to the efforts of local citizens, including the
legendary Barry Goldwater, a land exchange
was formalized in 1968 that has protected the
mountain from development and kept it open
for public recreation.

approached with a good measure of caution.
The steep Summit Trail winds approximately
1.2 miles (one way) through spectacular sandstone rock formations and boasts an elevation
gain of 1,264 feet. Railings have been installed
on the steepest sections of the trail and are
quite helpful. Like the Cholla Trail, the Summit
Trail offers spectacular scenic vistas, as well as
the opportunity to enjoy the mountain’s abundant flora and fauna.
602-261-8318,
www. phoenix.gov/parks/hikcmfac.html
The two summit trails, Cholla Trail and the
aptly named Summit Trail (Echo Canyon),
are technically difficult, strenuous and best
suited for experienced hikers. The Cholla Trail
runs approximately 1.5 miles (one way) from
the trailhead to the mountain’s saddle and
offers an elevation gain of 1,200 feet. For
many people, the saddle makes an excellent
stopping and turn-around point. It offers
breathtaking views of the Valley and distant
mountain ranges. Adventurous souls will
want to continue on to the final stretch of the
Cholla Trail, which involves some climbing

Get Around in Style at Kierland Golf Club
Golfers visiting Kierland Golf Club will
find two exciting new options for getting
around the course. The club was the first to
roll out the Segway GT (Golf Transporter),
which carries one golfer, a golf bag, balls,
drink, scorecard and pencil. Kierland also
was the first area course to offer traditional
carts equipped with G2, an ingenious climatecontrol system that cools you in the summer
and keeps you warm in the winter.

Where Desert Golf Reigns Supreme “Desert golf courses are different,” says fifteen-time
PGA TOUR winner and 1973 British Open champion Tom Weiskopf. “The golfer has to
bear with the fact that we respect our water resources out here. By law, we can only irrigate 90 acres of turf; consequently, most of the new courses are target oriented. On the plus
side, this makes for a unique, dramatic look, the striking contrasts of green formality against
the rugged desert backdrop. We’ve got finely maintained courses, beautiful mountain vistas
and the sunsets are spectacular. It’s just a very fine place to play golf.”
6
Indeed, as the purists say, if you want a true links golf experience, you’ve got to go to Scotland.
For a true desert golf experience, Scottsdale’s the place. Simply stated, the setting is unparalleled. Sure, there are other desert environments scattered across the Southwest and in different
parts of the world, but not one of them matches the variety and visual interest of Scottsdale’s
Sonoran Desert. Thus, the golf holes carved into our distinctive desert are unique and unforgettable. Add to that the impeccable service and warm hospitality for which Scottsdale courses
are so well known, and it becomes crystal clear: For the perfect desert golf experience, there’s
no better place than Scottsdale.

Gainey Ranch, you can pamper your body with treatments specifically choregraphed to the science of time.
11
Spa Avania’s time-focused philosophy is grounded in the body’s natural daily rhythms and requirements. Morning treatments are geared
toward helping your body awaken and energize for the day, and
include indulgences such as the Vitalizing Mineral Wrap and Skin
Resonance Facial. Midday treatments, including the Desert Essence
Wrap and Crushed Pearl facial, focus on balancing and nourishing.

body ready for sleep – perfect timing for the Aroma Sunset Ritual.
Spa Avania’s holistic approach to pampering has left no detail unattended. Scents, teas, lighting, synchronized music styling and YogaAway
sessions all vary depending upon the time of day. Even the water served
throughout the spa is infused with different fruits, vegetables and herbs
as the day goes on. For example, cucumber slices in chilled carafes provide an eye-opening morning refreshment, while pieces of fresh ginger
instill midday water with properties that aid digestion. The result is an
all-senses infusion that honors your body’s changing demands for equilibrium throughout the day.

“Star” Gazing at the Hotel Valley Ho
It’s no secret that Hollywood has discovered Scottsdale. Celebrity sightings
at the city’s resorts, restaurants, nightclubs and
boutiques have become an almost-daily occurrence. And among the hottest of spots for
“star” gazing is downtown’s Hotel Valley Ho.
14
The love affair between Hollywood A-listers

than 50 star-studded years. Originally built
in 1956, this beautiful property nestled in
the heart of Scottsdale’s Arts, Shopping &
Entertainment districts has hosted such
luminaries as Humphrey Bogart, Marilyn
Monroe, Ingrid Bergman and Zsa Zsa Gabor.
Other regulars included Jimmy Durante,
who used to sneak down to the lobby piano
when he couldn’t sleep, and sweethearts
Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood, who were
married at the Valley Ho.
Today, the Hotel Valley Ho, recently reopened
after an $80 million restoration, offers a distinctive retro-chic atmosphere and first-class
amenities that appeal to the Hollywood glitterati as well as leisure and business travelers
from around the world. Paying tribute to the
original flavor of its classic mid-century
design and with a nod to high-tech modern
amenities, the hotel features rooms with allglass walls opening onto airy poolside patios,
terrazo tile baths behind translucent walls, 32inch flat-screen TVs and WiFi throughout the
property. Other new enhancements include
the VH Spa for pampering treatments to relax
your mind and body, the poolside Oh Pool
Bar + Cabanas, and dining at Café ZuZu and
Trader Vic’s, the legendary home of Mai Tais
and pupu platters. The resorts keep celebrity
arrivals confidential, but on any given night,
you too could be starstruck in Scottsdale.

Your week-long program begins as you spend two days getting acquainted with your horse, your equipment and basic skills such as riding,
roping and shoeing. Then, you’ll spend the next four days on a

authentic, ranch-working cowboys and doing a job that’s more than
150 years old.
Now, a word of warning: This ain’t no sissified, city-slicker ride. It’s a

Taliesin West: Frank Lloyd Wright’s Desert Masterpiece
Nestled on 600 acres of rugged Sonoran Desert in central
Scottsdale, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West is an architectural wonder and a National Historic Landmark. Wright and his
apprentices began construction on Taliesin West in the 1930s and literally created it out of the desert by gathering rocks from the desert
floor and sand from the washes to keep the design in balance with
the surrounding environment. The site, considered one of Wright’s
greatest masterpieces, was designed to serve as his personal home, studio
and architectural laboratory. Today, visitors to Taliesin West will not see
a museum, but rather a remarkably vital and active community of
students and architects working together to maintain Wright’s vision.
20
A variety of guided tours are available year-round, including the 60minute Panorama Tour, which provides a general overview of Wright’s
basic theories of architectural design and showcases his brilliant ability
to integrate indoor and outdoor spaces. Special seasonal tours also are
available and include the Nightlights on the Desert Tour (May-Oct.),
a twilight tour featuring artfully lighted buildings and Taliesin
West’s popular fire-breathing dragon; and the Apprentice Shelter
Tour (Dec.-April), in which Taliesin apprentices take you on an
up-close-and-personal tour of their self-built dwellings.

Sea Saw Spectacular There are sushi
bars and there are tapas bars, and
then there’s Sea Saw, a surprising
(and delicious) combination of the two. Chef
Nobu Fukuda, James Beard Best Chef in the
Southwest 2007 and Food & Wine Best New
Chef 2003, has coined the term “tapanese” to
describe his delicate dishes designed for leisurely
paced, shared-dining experiences. His creations
combine fragrant aromas, thought-provoking
flavors and dramatic presentations for a truly
original take on Japanese cuisine. An interesting fact – Fukuda even wraps chopsticks the
same way dynamite is wrapped when it’s used
to trigger an avalanche.
26
A Global Tapestry of Tastes at Mosaic
Set amidst a stunning Sonoran
Desert landscape in North Scottsdale,
Mosaic’s exterior is elegant and unassuming,
with an air of simplicity. But behind kitchen
doors, chef/owner Deborah Knight takes
global cuisine to new heights with bold,
creative dishes that are anything but simple.
Since 2001, Knight has garnered well-deserved
accolades for her unique culinary flair, including being named one of Food & Wine magazine’s Best New Chefs in 2002. In turn, the
restaurant boasts prestigious honors such as
the AAA Four-Diamond Award 2005-2007,
Award of Excellence 2002-2007 from Wine
Spectator magazine, and the Award of Unique
Distinction 2005-2006 from Wine Enthusiast
magazine. So jot Mosaic down on your list of
“must-do” Scottsdale experiences. You’ll be
glad that you did.
25
480-563-9600, www.mosaic-restaurant.com
The menu changes daily and Fukuda uses
only the freshest, most pristine ingredients,
including seafood from all oceans and organic produce from local farms, so you are sure
to find something new each time you visit.
Ask anyone “in the know” and they will recommend the omakase (chef ’s choice) pairing
menu, an eight-course meal featuring wine,
sake and champagne pairings that complement the chef ’s selections perfectly. Überfoodies may opt for the ultra omakase where,
after learning your likes and dislikes, Fukuda
constructs a personalized feast for the senses
featuring rare delicacies and fine wines. It is
certainly not for the faint of heart or those
with a weak appetite! Ask for his seasonal
omakase when making your reservation.
And for all the Fukuda fans out there, Sea
Saw will soon welcome a new, more casual
sister, Shell Shock, debuting at Scottsdale’s
SouthBridge in early 2008. With a modern
izikaya (Japanese tavern) feel, and décor
described as “Jetsons-mod-underwaterdesert design,” Fukuda is sure to impress
once again!

Worldwide Wines at Kazimierz In Scottsdale, there’s no place where wine is taken more
seriously than at Kazimierz world wine bar in downtown. Known locally as Kazbar,
this sophisticated Scottsdale mainstay welcomes oenophiles and novices alike to smell,
sip and savor any of their more than 3,000 wines by the glass, by wine flight, or by the bottle.
Now, you’re not the first to wonder how one could possibly choose from such an impressive (if
not daunting) list. But have no fear, the clever folks at Kazbar have some tips to make your
selection as easy as one-two-three (and four and five).
27
One: check out the list on the Web site before visiting, www.kazbar.net. Two: ask for the “Nifty
Fifty,” a one-page list of guest favorites. Three: tell your server the brands and styles you like,
along with your price range; he or she will be able to recommend something you’ll enjoy.
Four: let your server choose wines by the glass for each course for a mini-wine dinner. And if
all else fails, Five: just throw the list at your server and order scotch, as one lady recently did!
OK, so we don’t actually recommend throwing the list at your server, but if you do plan on
experiencing Kazbar for yourself, look for the entrance to the wine bar in the back – like all
good speakeasies!

Bank on the Rusty Spur Saloon
Tucked away in Old Town, the
Rusty Spur Saloon is Scottsdale’s
oldest drinking establishment and welcomes
you to eat, drink and enjoy live music seven
days and nights a week. But before it came to
be known as a great place to enjoy a cold beer
and good grub, the building that houses the
Rusty Spur was originally the Farmer’s State
Bank of Scottsdale until 1933, when it closed
down for a “bank holiday” and never reopened.
In fact, today the old bank vault is still being
used, but instead of holding money, it now
stores the saloon’s cold brew!

“Jack Knife” Modeled after Scottsdale’s official city seal, which depicts a rider astride

McDowell Yavapai Nation and produced by the Scottsdale Center for
the Performing Arts. These free, noontime festivals feature dancers in
traditional dress performing a variety of tribal dances, ranging from
powwow dancing and fancy dance to the exciting and energetic hoop
dance. And to complement the performances, vendors set up booths to
display and sell Native American arts, crafts and food.
you’ll hear a corn-grinding song and learn about the cultural importance
of certain foods. You’ll also learn about the introduction of the European
horse to the Americas, then enjoy an exciting horsetail dance. And,
every Native Trails performance ends with a traditional round dance.
For this interactive dance, the performers carry a large drum onto the
amphitheater’s lawn and encourage the audience to join them as they
dance in a large circle, which represents community, connection and
understanding between peoples of all cultures. Native Trails is offered
most Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from noon to 1:30 p.m. The
2008 season runs from January 8 through April 5.
Every song or dance at Native Trails begins with a brief introductory
talk that speaks to its connection to a people’s culture. For example,

hub for exploring all the natural wonders and unique attractions
that our state has to offer!
SEDONA
Named one of the 10 Most Beautiful Places in America by USA
Weekend magazine, Sedona is known worldwide for its breathtaking
natural setting. Sedona complements the splendor of its red-rock
landscape with award-winning resorts, luxurious spas, exhilarating
outdoor adventures and a renowned arts and culinary scene.
Each year, Sedona welcomes more than 4 million visitors to explore
the stunning red-rock monoliths that surround the city. Named for
the shapes they resemble, these towering formations sport whimsical monikers such as Coffeepot, Cathedral, Bell and Snoopy. Jeep
tours and hiking trails are two great options for exploring the
amazing Sedona landscape. Roadside pullouts also offer beautiful
views and photo opportunities. And, photographers and nature
lovers won’t want to miss Slide Rock State Park in the heart of
Oak Creek, which, as its name implies, features a natural water
slide (great fun in the summer!).
Distance from Scottsdale (one way): 124 miles/200km
Approximate Drive Time (one way): 2 hours
Activities & Attractions: Hiking, Jeep tours, horseback riding, golf, shopping,
galleries, dining, spas, Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village, Slide Rock State Park

NORTHEAST
Known for its breathtaking natural
beauty, this corner of Arizona is
home to the Navajo (Diné) and Hopi
tribes. On the Navajo Nation, visit
Monument Valley Tribal Park and see
the awe-inspiring crimson spires that Hollywood has made famous
in countless Western movies. You also can visit Canyon de Chelly
(above), where 1,000-foot-high canyon walls surround beautifully
preserved prehistoric cliff dwellings. Start your tour of the Hopi
mesas at the Hopi Cultural Center. Guided tours of the mesas are
offered by the tribe. Just south of the Navajo Nation, the Painted
Desert showcases the pageant of color Mother Nature has splashed
across the desert sands. And, nearby, a 160million-year-old forest of stone awaits you at
the serenely beautiful Petrified Forest.
NORTH-CENTRAL
Nestled at the base of the San Francisco Peaks,
Flagstaff is home to the Museum of Northern
Arizona, housing an outstanding collection of Native American art and artifacts,
and the Lowell Observatory (right),
where Pluto was discovered. A short drive
from Flagstaff will take you to Meteor
Crater, the earth’s largest meteorite
impact site, or to Wupatki National
Monument (below, right), an 800-yearold pueblo ruin. South of Flagstaff,
you’ll find Prescott, the territorial capital before Arizona was a state, and
Jerome (left), a former mining and
ghost town that has gained new life as an artists’ community. Both
of these cities are havens of art, history,
legend and lore. This region also boasts
Montezuma Castle (left), one of the
best-preserved and most magnificent
Indian cliff dwellings in the West. It is
believed to have been built around A.D.
1100 and features a five-story “apartment house” tucked into an
immense recess in a limestone wall.

THE GRAND CANYON
One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, the majestic Grand
Canyon has long fascinated visitors with its breathtaking scenic vistas.
Located on the Colorado Plateau in northern Arizona, the canyon has
been carved out by the Colorado River over the last 6 to 10 million
years. It measures 15 miles from rim to rim at its widest point and
averages 4,000 feet deep for its entire 277 miles.
More than 4 million visitors a year travel to the Canyon to view the
vast expanses that have both inspired and humbled painters, poets,
photographers and those who simply come to stand on the rim and
marvel at nature’s artistry. The South Rim, which is open 365 days a
year (holidays included), is the most popular destination and offers
a full-service visitors center, scenic overlooks, the Tusayan Museum,
gift shops and accommodations ranging from the luxurious El Tovar
Hotel to developed campgrounds. The more remote North Rim, open
from mid-May to mid-October, also offers numerous scenic viewpoints, “Canyon Walk” Skybridge, and accommodations at the Grand
Canyon Lodge as well as North Rim Campground.
Distance from Scottsdale (one way – South Rim): 237 miles/381km
Approximate Drive Time (one way): 4 hours
Activities & Attractions: Hiking, helicopter and fixed-wing aerial tours, mule rides,
river rafting, Tusayan Museum, IMAX Theater, gift shops
928-638-7888, www.nps.gov/grca
WEST
Along Arizona’s western border you’ll
find beautiful Lake Havasu (left),
which offers 23 miles of shoreline,
public beaches, boating and swimming areas, and is home to England’s
historic London Bridge. Lake Mead and the world-famous Hoover
Dam also are located in this region, as is a stretch of legendary
Route 66 which winds through Kingman.
SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST
Southern Arizona offers beautiful desert scenery
and plenty of Old West heritage. Explore the
Sonoran Desert at Organ Pipe Cactus National
Monument (left)
in southwestern
Arizona or the Arizona-Sonora Desert
Museum in Tucson. Also located in the
Tucson area, Mission San Xavier del Bac
(above) is widely thought to be the best
example of Spanish mission architecture
in the United States. In and around
Tucson you’ll find many other diverse
attractions, including Kitt Peak
National Observatory, Old Tucson
Studios (left), Flandrau Science
Center & Planetarium, Saguaro National Park and the Pima Air
& Space Museum. Just south of the city are the breathtakingly
beautiful caves of Kartchner Caverns
State Park (below), and Tombstone,
home of the infamous OK Corral. Head
even farther south and experience lively
border towns like Bisbee (right) or Nogales.
These are just a few examples of the sights and
attractions that await you in Arizona. So, whether
your interest lies in historic towns, scenic beauty,
native cultures or funky arts communities, it’s all here
in the Grand Canyon State. Get out and explore!

As you can see by the chart below, Scottsdale’s beautiful weather
promises more sunshine and outdoor playtime than just about any
other city in the United States. Our abundance of sunshine – more
than 330 days a year – makes packing for your trip nearly effortless. Shorts, golf shirts, Western wear and sundresses are popular
daytime attire. Evening dress also is casual, with men’s jackets and
ties being favored by some of Scottsdale’s finer restaurants. If you
are visiting in the cooler months, just add a sweater or light jacket.
Remember your swimsuit, too, because swimming never goes out
of season in Scottsdale.
