City of Scottsdale

"WestWorld is the special events center for Scottsdale. It annually hosts a number of excellent events from car shows to rodeos."

"Nice hike up southern slopes of McDowell Mountains, into McDowell Sonoran Preserve. Parking on west side of 128th, north of Cactus Road."

"Great hiking to Sunrise Peak and into the heart of the preserve. Water, shade ramadas, limited horse-trailer parking."

"This is the largest trailhead into Scottsdale's McDowell Sonoran Preserve. It links to several trails, including one accessible by wheelchair. Restrooms and ramada on site."

"Sonoran Desert at its best -- saguaro forests, giant rock formations, diverse wildlife. The preserve features nine trailheads and two dozen trails totaling 60 miles."

"One of the great public places in Arizona, the tree-shaded mall hosts festivals, concerts and is home to many public art sculptures."
