Get Outdoors!
You can’t talk about fall without talking about football. Luckily, Arizona State University is nearby (roughly 15 minutes), and you can watch the ASU Sun Devils play football in Sun Devil Stadium. The stadium’s mountain setting raises the bar when it comes to tailgating! Nestled between two mountain buttes, the stadium was literally carved from the mountains.
And, you can’t come to Scottsdale without experiencing the Sonoran Desert – it’s all around. Fall is a great time to get out and experience the desert. Scottsdale’s McDowell Sonoran Preserve includes over 120 miles of desert trails. You can hike, run, bike, or ride horseback through cacti, desert terrain and mountains. Trails vary in length and difficulty so there is a trail suited for every visitor. The Preserve also has accessible trails and designated rock climbing areas too, as well as pet-friendly trails. You can explore on your own or take a guided tour to get more out of your hike. Be sure to be on the lookout for all those desert creatures that share your trails – hawks, roadrunners, snakes, lizards and deer to name a few.
Now is the time to try those more strenuous, demanding trails! Enjoy a hike or bike through the cacti and surrounding boulders before the temperature gets too high. If you’re feeling a little more adventurous, try rock climbing, rappelling, or canyoneering while the weather is cooler. The best part of trekking up a mountain is coming down! The best part of trekking up a mountain is coming down! Explore by yourself or take a guided tour for a no-worries dessert experience.
