Scottsdale
With its acclaimed resorts, dining, shopping and nightlife, Scottsdale offers everything you'd expect from a premier holiday destination, plus something delightfully unexpected – the stirring beauty of the Sonoran Desert.
Scottsdale’s lush desert landscape offers nearly endless opportunities for outdoor adventure. Watch the sunrise from the gondola of a hot air balloon. Explore rolling mountain foothills on a hike in Scottsdale’s McDowell Sonoran Preserve. Or unleash your inner cowboy and saddle-up for a Western-style horseback ride. Just make sure your mobile phone is fully charged so you can capture the desert’s breathtaking scenery and technicolour sunsets.
