Being here in the Valley

means we’re in the middle of everything — from world-class resorts to gourmet cuisine to awe-inspiring cultural events.

With more than a dozen luxury resorts in the area, everyone from newlyweds to families can steal away for a lavish getaway filled with fun, food and the type of service you would only expect from the most exceptional resorts in the world. From the romance of the Royal Palms in Scottsdale to the chic modern vibe at the Sanctuary on Camelback in Paradise Valley, from the family-friendliness of Arizona Grand Resort to the Old West ambience of Rancho Mañana in Cave Creek, you’ll be pampered and indulged like you’ve never been before.

When you can tear yourself away from ice-cold drinks served in your private poolside cabana, check out a host of other wonderful things to see and do. From hitting the links at any one of its world-class golf courses to drinking in the scenic beauty of the Sonoran desert, Phoenix and the surrounding areas are the perfect place for the outdoor enthusiast. If fine dining is more your taste, treat yourself to a menu of global cuisine that will leave you hungry for more. Or for a real night on the town, take in an exciting show or concert, or take a leisurely stroll through one of the area’s arts districts.

In this issue of You Are Here, discover the amazing Surprise variety of things to do Peoria right in our own backyard.

Scottsdale From fabulous getaways Glendale close to home, to award17 51 101 101 winning cuisine just around Paradise Valley the corner, to multicultural Central Phoenix events right in our own 202 10 neighborhood — the Valley Avondale is a destination you don’t Tempe 10 Mesa have to go far to enjoy.

Boot Up

High-end fashion and quality, custom-made leather goods fill Scottsdale Quarter’s Bounty Hunter.

15037 N. Scottsdale Rd., Scottsdale 480-907-6556 shopbountyhunter.com 14

Typically, when you think of shopping, giant airconditioned malls come to mind. But here, where nine months of the year the weather is just splendid, gorgeous open-air shopping destinations abound. Head out and experience the best the Valley has to offer while soaking up the sun at outdoor spots like Westgate City Center and the Shops at Desert Ridge. You’ll be more than entertained and pleased to find you can play, dine and shop there, too. The palm tree-lined Dana Park Village Square in Mesa features independent boutiques, a spa and mainstay shops like Barnes & Noble and Anthropologie. You can grab some lunch, get a manicure and buy some new shoes without ever leaving the plaza. But perhaps what the Valley is best known for is its luxury offerings. Spend an afternoon perusing the upscale boutiques at Kierland Commons, which is home to trendy shops, jewelry and home décor. Or enjoy the mall-meetsboutique setting of Biltmore Fashion Park, a year-round hot spot where you can dine, shop and enjoy outdoor concerts.

Worth a Spin

Be a disc golfer at Spinners on the Green, which offers a slew of golf discs, apparel, baskets and even custom golf discs. Lessons and clinics are available to get you started, and, for the more experienced, weekly leagues play on gorgeous disc golf courses on the Scottsdale greenbelt.

7607 E. McDowell Rd., Scottsdale 480-941-2513 spinnersdiscgolf.com

Bounce It Out

It’s fitness and fun rolled into one at the newly opened AZ Air Time at Scottsdale Airpark, a trampoline entertainment center for bouncers of all ages.

The indoor, family-friendly space features a giant, 5,000-square-foot main trampoline with angled walls.

There are plenty of ways to stay active and keep cool in the

Valley, even when the temps are still in the triple digits. BounceU in Gilbert offers bounce-house fun for kids inside giant, air-conditioned rooms. They can run, jump, slide and tackle inflatable obstacle courses. Sign yourself and the kids up for hockey clinics or ice skating lessons at the Coyotes Ice Den, the official training center for the Phoenix Coyotes which was also voted one of the Top 10 Rinks in the nation by USA Today. The Phoenix Rock Gym, home to the largest indoor rock climbing space in Arizona, is where you can tackle 30-foot climbing walls. And if you’re looking for outdoor fun, the Valley offers plenty of that, too! Grab the pooch and explore Cosmo Dog Park, with its sweeps of green, fenced-off areas and even a small lake where Fido can cool off and practice his swimming skills. Enjoy the train rides and railroad museum at McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park, and, if you want a little more action, try Westworld Paintball Adventures, where you and your friends can battle it out at Splatter Ranch amid more than 20 acres of the Sonoran desert.

Enjoy the Valley’s top recreation spots

Carry on, Cardinals!

September starts football season, and the Arizona Cardinals have a chance to rebound from their roller-coaster 2010 season.

They’re in a winnable division, so truck over to University of Phoenix Stadium for food, fun and football — and cheer them on. Exciting home games this season include the always-popular Dallas Cowboys matchup and an opportunity to avenge their Super Bowl loss to the Steelers.

It’s no secret

the Valley is known for its lush, green golf courses.

After all, with practically year-round sunshine, the weather is perfect for play.

Not to mention championship courses that draw professional golf players from around the country are enough to lure any golf aficionado. Tee up at one of the Valley’s resort golf courses, where you can enjoy challenging play and access resort amenities. At The Boulders, you’ll play among the backdrop of the breathtaking desert landscape and on two championship-level Jay Morrish-designed courses. It has been consecutively ranked one of the best courses in the country for more than 10 years by Golf Magazine and Travel & Leisure. For a links-style course with desert hazards, try the greens at Arizona Grand Resort. Or try one of the family golf programs at The Westin Kierland Golf Club, where instructors are PGA- and LGA-certified professionals.

Enjoy a great piece of slow-roasted steak and a fine brew at The Keg Steakhouse & Bar. The restaurant has several locations throughout the Valley where you can enjoy ample servings of premium meat or seafood offerings.

For an upscale spin on comfort food, look no further than Eddie’s House in Old Town Scottsdale. Valley chef Eddie Matney serves up All-American faves like bacon-infused meatloaf in a casual space that makes you feel right at home. District American Kitchen and Wine Bar in Downtown Phoenix takes a contemporary twist to their décor and their comfort foods — think buttermilk fried chicken served with grilled sweet corn, cheesy corn dogs served with a mustard trio or the macaroni and cheese topped with Cheez-It crumbs. The Habit Burger Grill, a Valley newcomer, features charbroiled burgers made on an open flame. And if your All-American craving isn’t all about meat, check out Grimaldi’s Pizzeria, renowned at its many Valley locations for its coal-brick oven pizza that cooks the perfect thin-crust pie.
