Welcome to Scottsdale - "The Most Livable City"
Food scene
Less than a five minute drive from the house, OHSO is a lively brewery with a hip, dog-friendly patio serving drinks, burgers & other American bites. We personally love the turkey burger and mac and cheese! And the beer made on site :) They also have a really good, well priced brunch.

About a 5 minute drive from the house is Hash Kitchen, a great place for brunch if you're up for more a scene with a DJ. Not dog friendly. Has a stellar Build Your Own Bloody Mary bar, and our fave food items are the Huevos Rancheros Hash and the Hangover Hash. Warning: there will be a wait to get seated!

If you have younger kids, this place is a MUST. Not only is their food good, but they have a huge grass area, enclosed by a fence, overlooking the golf course, that kids can run around in (contained!) so you can enjoy your food and drinks without worry. Less than 10 minutes from the house.

The best hole in the wall Mexican food place. Can tend to be on the spicy side! Their dessert storefront next store also has the BEST milkshakes!

Outdoor Activities
This is probably the most famous hike in Arizona. Great views of Arcadia and Scottsdale. This is a hike for at least somewhat experienced hikers, as the trails (there are two options) are somewhat difficult. The Echo Canyon side is steeper and Cholla is longer. Dogs are not allowed and we do NOT recommend hiking in the summer months!

If you want to spend a whole day on the water, head to Salt River Tubing, rent a tube, bring some food and drinks, and spend the day relaxing down the river! Don't forget your sunscreen! And check the website to make sure they're open while you're in town. Count on this being a full day. Between driving, arriving, tubing, and recovering from the sun and water, this will be all you want to do for the day. But it's a blast!

Shopping
You'd be remiss in not visiting the shops in Old Town Scottsdale while you're here. They are more touristy, but if you're looking for southwestern art, turquoise, or anything like that, or even just want to look, it's a fun little day outing. Plus the vibes are just oh-so charming.

Maybe I'm biased because I'm from here, but I truly do think this is one of the best malls in all of the country. It has everything from H&M to Dior to Lululemon, Dillards to Neiman Marcus to Nordstrom, honestly just an incredible shopping mall.

City/town information
We recommend heading to Sedona a weekend while you're here. The landscape is stunning. And you MUST go on a Pink Jeep Tour while you're there - totally worth it and so much fun!
