Mix relaxing simplicity with the opportunity to try the new and exciting. Fountain views are yours to enjoy no matter what you’re sipping. Then stroll across the street to Fireside Grill for a Fountain Hills tradition, Jazz in the Hills, and sink comfortably into jazz by outstanding artists.You’ll see why jazz is best enjoyed live and what a difference the right venue makes.
SHORT DRIVES This is where a morning spent with eye-opening views of the McDowell Mountains, Red Mountain, Four Peaks and the Superstitions at We-Ko-Pa can pair with afternoons at any of the other courses on the trail: Desert Canyon Golf Club, Eagle Mountain Golf Club, SunRidge Canyon Golf Club and Vista Verde Golf Club. The views go on forever, but traveling between courses takes only minutes. 360 feet high at the top of the hour from Many visitors to Fountain Hills come with celebration in mind.

CELEBRATE: VARIETY Nurturing your interest in art, the latest offerings from innovative chefs, or “I-can’t-believe-I-found-this” shopping could be exactly what vacation means to you – and exactly what it doesn’t mean to the hiking enthusiast or golfer in your family. But instead of testing your ability to compromise, Fountain Hills lets you grab that No. 2 pencil and fill in the bubble next to “all of the above.”
A Fountain Hills TGIF celebration often begins at Grapeables, where the philosophy is to focus on wines that come from people, not mass production. Recently selected by PHOENIX magazine as one of the “50 Best Bars” in the valley, Grapables has more than 200 wines to choose from. Desert Canyon Golf Club
ART Art that takes you everywhere – without budging an inch. From the time before Columbus right up to the present day, much of the art in Fountain Hills has found its natural home outdoors. Join a docent on the first Saturday of the month, October to May, for insights and surprising facts about Fountain Hills public art, which includes 100 pieces by internationally recognized artists working in bronze, metal and stone.
Plan an easy, moderate or “I-can’t-waitto-tell-my-buddies” hike on trails of the Fountain Hills McDowell Sonoran Preserve. Or access convenient trailheads to the McDowell Mountain Regional Park and Scottsdale Sonoran Preserve.

Mom knew a thing or two when she told you to go outside and play. Good things are yours when you get outside – especially during a visit to Fountain Hills, Arizona. If golf is your game, make it an adventure by booking a tee time on one or more of the award-winning courses that make up the Sonoran Desert Golf Trail. Should you be into hiking, mountain biking, or horseback riding, McDowell Mountain Regional Park offers miles and miles of trails. Even art is an outside endeavor in Fountain Hills, where you can enjoy public art all year long and take in the upcoming and always popular Fountain Festival of Arts and Crafts November 11 to 13. Come on, come see us. And get outside. We invite you to visit visitfhfm.com for more information.

“Those who have vanished,� is the translation of “Hohokam,� but the name is misleading, because the Hohokam people have not vanished completely. Explore McDowell Mountain Regional Park during one of your visits to Fountain Hills, and see petroglyphs created by the Hohokam – art that assures they have not vanished from memory.
Not many places let you introduce your children to so much outdoor art within minutes of cooling off at a Splash Park. George the Tortoise is a favorite.
If the petroglyphs intrigue you, so will what you learn at the L. Alan Cruikshank River of Time Museum.
