You Are Here: Your Valleywide Everything Guide is published bimonthly by InMedia Company LLC. and is dedicated to promoting the “hidden gems” to residents and visitors Valleywide. The publication is available at local businesses, concierge desks, information desks, airports and bookstores throughout all of Metro Phoenix.

Opportunity is the special ingredient to life in the Valley of the Sun. Spiced with variety, life here is rich in activities both indoors and out. Day or night, the weather welcomes you to explore the options.

Mixed with world-renowned attractions like the Heard Museum and oneof-a-kind superstars like the Musical Instrument Museum are hidden gems throughout the Valley. The tag on each entry in our You Are Here guide is coordinated with the maps to help you get to them.

The Valley is home to world-class dining options and boasts a high number of award-winning chefs. The Scottsdale Culinary Festival, one of the Valley’s signature events, fills a full week in April with cooking demonstrations; chef challenges; beer, wine and tequila tasting; and live music before culminating with the Great Arizona Picnic.

The concentration of night spots is renowned, with grooves to fit every age range and, in some areas, clustered close enough together that you can walk from one to another and sample a variety of signature concoctions. Start off by checking out the list we have for you on page 36.

A variety of entertainment venues abounds throughout the metro area.

Live theater ranges from excellent community theater to performances of national productions at landmarks like ASU Gammage and the Orpheum Theatre. Arthouse cinemas in Scottsdale and Tempe add the voice of indie films to mainstream studio releases, and new theaters like the iPic at Scottsdale Quarter bring movie-going to a whole new level of experience from interactive to luxurious.

If shopping is your bag, we’ve got you covered inside and out: from acres of enclosed mall to famous shopping districts like Tempe’s Mill Avenue, Scottsdale’s Marshall Way and Old Towne Glendale’s Antique Row. The outdoor enthusiast will find many parks and preserves dotting the metro area and spilling out to surrounding open space. Bike and pedestrian paths meander through pleasantly landscaped miles that give views of our man-made waterway and vital water source, the Central Arizona Project canal. Or challenge yourself on more rugged trail-biking and hiking terrain.

And nowhere is there a higher concentration of golf courses, public and private. In fact, world-class golf courses are part of the fabric of our Valley.

On page 18, we’ve compiled a list of public courses as well as information on instruction facilities. The Valley is where it’s at for a swinging good time. youarehereaz.com

Hit the Gym

The temperature is rising as summer approaches. Beat the heat and get your workout on with a day pass for the Rio Vista Recreation Center in Peoria.

Climbing the 25-foot rock wall, taking a few laps around the track and pumping iron on the fitness floor never felt so good.

8866 W.Thunderbird Rd. 623-773-8600 peoriaaz.gov

Ranch Running

For astounding views of the Valley of the Sun, spend the day hiking along DC Ranch’s 33 miles of neighborhood trails in Scottsdale’s desert landscape. Continue along Thompson Peak Parkway and explore the McDowell Sonoran Preserve trails through the McDowell Mountains.

The truly unique landscape of Arizona is one that draws millions to the state each year. Only in the Grand Canyon State can you hike close to home because Camelback Mountain and Piestewa Peak are practically in your backyard. Lake Pleasant, the second largest lake in Arizona, is less than an hour from Phoenix and a popular hotspot for fishing enthusiasts, many of whom have caught prize-winning largemouth bass. The Valley is also home to the South Mountain Park and Preserve, the largest public park in the nation.

Biking, hiking and horseback riding are popular activities throughout its 16,000-plus acres of rugged mountain landscape. Dobbin’s Point, the highest point accessible to the public, has unbelievable views of the city lights at dusk.

For a bird’s eye view of the Sonoran Desert, make a reservation with Hot Air Expeditions for an unforgettable hot air balloon journey. Amid the hustle and bustle of the Phoenix-Metro area, you can find peace and serenity at Encanto Park, just north of Downtown.

Home of the Phoenix Open, the TPC in Scottsdale is a great place to play and learn so much about the history of the game. It’s seen the sport’s best; you name them, they have played at this top-rated course. If you are a real pro, then you’ll love the choice between the Faldo and the Palmer courses at Wildfire Golf Club in North Phoenix.

No matter where

you live throughout the Valley, there are many choices almost at your doorstep when looking for a great way to spend your night. With so many classic bars and clubs offering great food and spirits, a weekend hangout is always within reach. If you’re tired of sauntering at the same spot, try something different! There are endless possibilities with all the sports bars, pubs, breweries, lounges and clubs to choose from.

Tempe’s Mill Avenue has a seemingly endless array of nightlife entertainment, with bars geared toward college students and adults alike.

Tempe Marketplace is also full of fab restaurants to have dinner and a drink before going out. The scene at Rose and Crown in Downtown Phoenix will liven you up, or you can hang at Hanny’s and enjoy the mellow ambiance.

Sophisticated Scottsdale clubs like Martini Ranch or Sandbar will have you moving and grooving into the early hours of morning. Don’t forget about Glendale’s Westgate City Center; their bar scene is a hit, and many restaurants there are also open late with fun starting after dark!
