ay is that time of year in the Valley, just before the heat really starts to scorch, where you can enjoy some fresh air and explore the beautiful landscape of the Arizona desert.

In this issue, our outdoors feature highlights some of our favorite places in the surrounding area—and a few day trips to Sedona and Tucson—for those itching for spots to hike and capture picturesque views of the state’s natural beauty. After you’ve ventured out into nature head back to the bustling city atmosphere and take a stroll down High Street, where bars, shops, restaurants and live entertainment, such as Rick Bronson’s – House of Comedy AZ, await.

If you’re looking for an authentic Phoenix or Scottsdale event, our calendar has got you covered with the places to be for the month of May including Arizona’s Restaurant Week, Kentucky Derby Party and the music of Led Zeppelin (sung by vocalist Randy Jackson backed by the Phoenix Symphony). Need more options for things to do? Our guide will point you in the direction of your desired destination, with locations and businesses listed across The Valley. If you’re a baseball fan, the Arizona Diamondbacks will be in action all month long, so check the schedule for a chance to catch the action at Chase Field. We hope you enjoy your stay!

Q: THE WEATHER IS STARTING TO HEAT UP; DO YOU HAVE ANY FAVORITE SPOTS WHERE YOU GO TO COOL OFF? A: Take the Downtown

month to visit Phoenix as there is not much rain and the high temperature is around 90 degrees with lows of 66 degrees. The flowers are blooming and the grass is green.

Q:WHERE ARE PLACES TRAVELERS CAN GO TO ENJOY THE FLORA AND FAUNA OF THE REGION? A: The Desert Botanical

CHEF CONCIERGE, LES CLEFS D’OR, HOTEL VALLEY HO

Q: IF SOMEONE WANTED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE PHOENIX/ SCOTTSDALE AREA, WHERE SHOULD THEY VISIT? A: One of my favorite

museums is The Arizona Heritage Center at

Papago Park. It is truly a hidden gem showcasing 28,000 exhibits about Scottsdale/Phoenix and the state of Arizona.

They also offer a variety of educational events for the public.

Q: IF YOU COULD ONLY TAKE YOUR MOM TO ONE PLACE IN THE CITY ON MOTHER’S DAY, WHAT PLACE WOULD THAT BE? A: I gave my mother-in-

law a surprise tour with Hot Air Balloon Expeditions for her birthday and Mother’s Day celebration.

You have a 360-degree view of the city, seeing the desert plant life below. When you land, a lovely table, complete with linens and china, awaits you in the desert.

Garden is the place to be if you want to see more than 50,000 desert plants and wildflowers on display. You can also take a drive to the Apache Trail, which gives visitors views of rock formations and desert trees.

Since Metro Phoenix is located in a Valley, there’s no shortage of nearby mountains to explore and hike. From easy trails to those that will challenge even the most experienced of hikers, there is a location perfect for every level hiker. For those who attempt to reach any of the mountain summits, the reward also includes incredible views. MICHELLE GLICKSMAN

SCENE STEALERS Piestewa Peak rises 2,610 feet, making it the second highest point in the Phoenix Mountains. Located in Phoenix Mountain Preserve, it’s only just over a mile, but is a difficult, steep hike. The reward? The stunning 360-degree views of the Metro Phoenix area.

Camelback Mountain (noted for its resemblance to

a reclining camel) offers two trails—the Echo Canyon Trail (picured below) and the Cholla Trail—to get to the summit, which is the highest in the Valley. Though iconic to hikers, both trails are difficult so proceed with caution. For those who make it to the top, the 360-degree views are breathtaking.

SHORT DAY JAUNTS

HOLE IN THE ROCK

SETTING THE STAGE In Phoenix’s Papago Park, take the Double Butte Loop, which begins in the West Park Parking Lot, and enjoy the red sandstone formations on this easy hike. On the park’s east side, a quick climb takes you to Hole in the Rock—a giant hole in the mountain that frames a view of the Valley.

In South Mountain Park and Preserve, take the Mormon Loop to National Trail Loop for fantastic city views. Along the way, enjoy some unique rock formations that are perfect photo spots.

With the name Lookout Mountain Summit Trail (located at Phoenix Mountain Preserve) you’d assume the views are worth the hike to the top—and they are.

This is a short, but steep trail.

There are plenty of trails in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve in Scottsdale as well. A favorite with both locals and visitors is Tom’s Thumb. A more moderately difficult hike, the trail’s signature formation is a pile of boulders that resemble, yes, a thumb (you’ll catch many hikers taking a photo in front of it while flashing a thumb’s up themselves).

In North Scottsdale, Pinnacle Peak Park Trail—located in Pinnacle Peak Park—offers a relatively easy climb that’s 1.75-miles each way, and offers views of the Valley and the nearby golf courses and large homes.

A short drive north toward Sedona or south toward Tucson yields popular hiking destinations and scenic spots.

With its stunning famous red rocks, pretty much all of Sedona, which is about a two-hour drive from Phoenix, is scenic. The 1.2-mile (outand-back) Doe Mountain Trail is a relatively easy trail that rewards with picture-perfect views and the chance to wander around the top of a mesa. One of the most popular trails is Devil’s Bridge Trail, which leads to a giant, amazing natural sandstone arch. Walk across the arch both to say you did, and to admire the surrounding views.

If you head to Tucson, also about a two-hour drive from Phoenix, try the popular hike to Romero Pools in Catalina State Park. The hike is easy at the beginning, but then turns steep and rocky to get to the actual pools. If it’s hot, bring a swimsuit and go for a quick swim. The water is present year-round, though levels do vary depending on the time of year.
