6Fun Ways to Get Around the Valley
Yes, you can always cab it, but for those looking for something different, there are so many options for fun and unusual ways to get around Metro Phoenix.
WHEEL FUN
Did you know you could go off-roading… on a Segway? Tour the Sonoran Desert with a guide leading the way with Adventure Out West (www.advoutwest. com). Or, explore Old Town Scottsdale on a Segway with a guide through Scottsdale Segway Tours (www.scottsdalesegway tours.com).
PARTY ON WHEELS
Explore the bars in Old Town Scottsdale or Downtown Phoenix with a pub crawl on a party bike with Arizona Party Bike (www.arizonapartybike.com). These guided party bikes seat multiple people (and have an electric helper motor!), and feature LED party lights and a sound system. Drinks are allowed on board, as well.
HAVE A TROLLEY GOOD TIME
The buses in Scottsdale don’t look like typical buses. Here, they are labeled trolleys and made to look as such. The trolleys are free to ride, and connect several areas of Scottsdale, as well as several bus routes (www.scottsdaleaz.gov/ trolley). Those with a group can rent a more traditional, unique trolley from Dunn Transportation for a group outing (www.dunn transportation.com).
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
The Valley Metro Light Rail is a 28.2-mile light rail line that serves the cities of Phoenix, Tempe, and Mesa. Not only can you can use it for transportation, but riders can also download the Valley Metro Artsline brochure for a list of arts locations—from station murals to arts and culture destinations, to events, performing arts, and music around town—where the rail stops. www.valleymetro.org
TAKE A RIDE
With Greenbelt Bike Tours, you can tour the Scottsdale Greenbelt (a system of parks, trails, and golf courses), Tempe Town Lake and Papago Park, or schedule a custom tour. The bikes are exclusive Fat Tire Pedal Assisted bikes. www.greenbeltbiketours.com
TAKE A RIDE
Settle in on a pedicab for a tour of up to 20 points of interest around the Downtown Phoenix area, or book one for a pub crawl, through Phoenix Pedicab Service (www.phoenix pedicabs.biz).
