EDITOR’S ITINERARY MICHELLE GLICKSMAN, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2019! We hope the coming year brings you health, happiness, and of course, lots of travel. Here in the Valley of the Sun, you can start your year off on the right foot (pun intended!) at the Resolution Run (Jan. 6). After that, get your fill of all things automobile at the many collector and vintage car auctions around the Valley (page 22). When you’re ready to relax and take a break, we list three spots where you can connect with nature and recharge (page 24). And why not start off the New Year honoring the ever-popular “I'll eat healthy this year” resolution and check out the healthy and delicious restaurants we list on page 25?

Enjoy your month!

Yours, Michelle Glicksman Get going! Explore the city at wheretraveler.com.

WHERE NOW Phoenix+Scottsdale

TOUR THE TOWN

Peace Out: Places to Soothe Your Soul There are a number of peaceful places in the Valley where you can connect with nature and soothe your soul. Spent 10 minutes or the day.—Amanda Miller

Scottsdale Civic Center Mall Amidst the hubbub that seems nearly constant in Old Town Scottsdale lies an area that is perfect for a brief respite. Host to a number of festivals and events, including the ever-popular Scottsdale Culinary Festival in the spring, the mall is a large green space tucked away just steps from the busy downtown retail shops and galleries.

The iconic “LOVE” statue marks the location well, and is the perfect place for a cuddle with someone special. Fountains and flower beds set the tone, and there are plenty of both sunny and shady areas

to lay out a blanket and enjoy a picnic. And if you need something to eat at your picnic, a number of eateries are located on the mall.

Or, simply take a break here to catch your breath before doing more area sightseeing and shopping. 3939 N. Drinkwater Blvd.; www.scottsdaleaz.gov

It may seem odd to have a beach in the middle of the desert, but that’s how Tempe has marketed this 25-acre chunk of land. Tempe Town Lake is the backdrop for more than five miles of walking and biking trails, play areas and picnic spots, as well as a splash pad. The area is also host to a number of activities each year, including concerts, festivals, and a large Fourth of July fireworks display. For those wanting to get closer to the water, there are kayak, stand-up paddleboard and boat rentals available.

Given its proximity to Arizona State University’s main campus, the park is a popular destination for college

Hole in the Rock Located in Papago Park and accessible from the same parking lot as the Phoenix Zoo, Hole in the Rock is a popular escape for locals and tourists alike. Technically composed of more than one hole, the geologic formation is thought to have been created by erosion over millions of years.

There is evidence that the Hohokam tracked the seasons with the sun shining through the holes.

Easily accessible via a smooth path along the backside of the formation, Hole in the Rock makes for a nice spot to relax and reconnect with the natural serenity that defines Arizona. Plan a picnic to enjoy within the park, and wear comfortable shoes to walk the picturesque surroundings.

Tasty, Healthy Food

If you’ve resolved to eat healthy this year, it doesn’t mean you have to give up on dining out. These Phoenix-area restaurants offer great healthy menus.—Susan Lanier-Graham

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: COURTESY FARM & CRAFT; COURTESY KALE & CLOVER; COURTESY 24 CARROTS; COURTESY TRUE FOOD KITCHEN; COURTESY PROTEIN HOUSE

Grilled Salmon

Farm & Craft Farm & Craft, with one bistro in Old Town Scottsdale and another in Uptown Phoenix, brings together food and community. The seasonal menu, which includes local and responsibly sourced ingredients, uses 100% grass-fed beef and also features vegetarian and vegan options.

Farm & Craft is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and is also popular for brunch and happy hour. The bowls are always a good healthy option. Build your own, or go for the Probiotic with red beet power kraut, quinoa tabbouleh, and a cucumber herb yogurt sauce. Be sure to try the Farro Mac & Cheese for a gluten-free twist on an American classic. The Grilled Salmon with rainbow quinoa and spiralized zucchini is a favorite entrée. www.ilovefarmandcraft.com

ProteinHouse ProteinHouse, with three Arizona locations, is a protein-rich, fastcasual restaurant serving athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone wanting to eat clean. Dine in at the The Sexy Bowl restaurant or let ProteinHouse do your meal prep. Lean bowls include your choice of protein.

For a post-workout splurge, try Chocolate Monster Pancakes, featuring chocolate, bananas and walnuts on whole grain whey protein pancakes. www.protein-house.com

Avocado Summer Roll

Kale + Clover Kale + Clover Mindful Kitchen is a fast-casual restaurant with chefcrafted healthy options, located in Scottsdale. Here, diners can start the day with a cold-pressed juice, nut milk or fresh smoothie and a selection of entrées, including veggie/vegan and gluten-free dishes. An egg-white burrito with sweet potato has a smoky chipotle salsa. Want something stick-to-your-ribs good? Try the quinoa porridge with apples and maple syrup. For lunch and dinner, the Superfood Salad is a meal in a bowl with greens, quinoa and avocado topped with a bright lemon vinaigrette. For a veggie twist to the popular sushi roll, try the Avocado Summer Roll with a house-made chili garlic sauce.

Other options range from Turkey Bolognese to Shrimp Pesto Pasta. www.kaleandclover.com

24 Carrots 24 Carrots Natural Café & Juice Bar in Tempe serves all-vegan, mostly gluten-free dishes made with local, organic, seasonal ingredients. At 24 Carrots, it’s all about clean eating, whether you opt for an all-natural smoothie, fresh juice, a savory dish, or want something sweet. A local favorite is My Favorite French Toast, dipped in coconut custard and served with grilled banana, house granola and berry orange syrup. A gluten-free option is available. Raw eating is definitely clean eating, so try the Raw Tacos Supreme, a gluten-free, vegan option to traditional tacos. They start with a house-dehydrated veggie tortilla, topped with walnut “taco meat,” greens, rainbow veggies, cashew sour cream and avocado. www.24carrotscafe.com

Raw Tacos Supreme

True Food Kitchen True Food Kitchen, founded by Dr. Andrew Weil, has locations in Phoenix and Scottsdale. True Food celebrates better living and prepares items with ingredients known for their anti-inflammatory properties. The menu features gluten-free, veggie and vegan options, but there are also great choices for meat and fish lovers.

Although the menu changes often, drawing on what’s in season and available, there are always a few favorite mainstays. Try the Inside Out Quinoa Burger with hummus and tzatziki. Want meat?

No worries. Try the pan-seared natural chicken or a taco with grilled fish or grass-fed steak.

True Food also has a handcrafted cocktail menu featuring fresh ingredients. Opt for a margarita with pomegranate and ginger, or a grapefruit vodka martini with organic vodka and fresh Thai basil.

THE GUIDE

Navigate

Arizona Snowbowl The Valley may not be prone to snow, but a short ride north to Arizona Snowbowl (just 14 miles outside of Flagstaff ) provides the perfect setting.

Located on the San Francisco Peaks at 9,500 feet above sea level, the snow at Snowbowl is generally plentiful during the winter, allowing for plenty of skiing and snowboarding opportunities at this popular destination. Highway 180 and Snowbowl Road, Flagstaff. www.snowbowl.ski Arizona Map I9

CAMELBACK MOUNTAIN— These are strenuous

summit hikes, and they forever change hikers’ admiration of the “camel’s back” from anywhere in the Valley. The Cholla trail rises from a neighborhood of mansions near The Phoenician’s golf courses and becomes narrow, steep and rocky in some parts. The Echo Canyon trail is so remarkably steep at some points that handrails and fences were permanently installed by park stewards. Trails meet at the summit, but the street-level trailheads are miles apart—so be sure to descend the same way you came. Echo Canyon: McDonald Drive east of Tatum Boulevard.

Valley of the Sun

When do they start preparing the location?

The preparation began the Monday after the 2018 WMPO. I had lunch with the Thunderbird staff that day to congratulate them on an incredible job, and then we moved on to 2019. I met with Tim Woods, assistant tournament chairman, on Feb. 6 to start work on 2019, so it truly is a 12-month process. The physical build begins in early October. It takes about four months to build and three months to take down.

Chance Cozby

[Tournament Chairman, 2019 WM Phoenix Open]

Chance Cozby has a long history with golf. He played for the Sooners golf team at the University of Oklahoma, and works for PING Golf, where he is currently vice president of sports development. He joined the Thunderbirds, the hosts of the Waste Management Phoenix Open (WM Phoenix Open), in 2010. Here, he talks about the event known as the “Greatest Show on Grass.”

For those who have never experienced it, describe the WM Phoenix Open...

The WM Phoenix Open is arguably the highestattended professional golf event in the world, and known for the iconic 16th hole at

TPC Scottsdale. The event began in 1932 at Phoenix Country Club, but moved to TPC in 1987. It is a one-of-a-kind experience on the PGA Tour with hospitality, fan experience and energy that is unmatched in golf.

You are this year’s tournament chairman.

What are some of your responsibilities as chairman?

As tournament chairman, I am involved in every aspect of the event.

Some areas require more attention than others,

The Open is known for its eco-efforts. What are some?

We have an amazing title sponsor in Waste Management, and their message is simple: zero waste. The numbers are truly staggering— with over 700,000 people in attendance, we have 100% of our materials diverted from landfill. Fifty-six percent is recycled, 26% composted, 9% waste-toenergy and 9% donated.

We are honored to work side-by-side with Waste Management and help them achieve their goals.

The Thunderbirds are the hosts of the tournament. What does that mean?

The Thunderbirds have hosted the Phoenix Open since 1939, when Bob Goldwater, Sr. convinced his fellow Thunderbirds to help run the event.

We are the host, and we are involved in every aspect of the event.

From the time you park your car to the moment you leave the Birds Nest at night’s end, there is a Thunderbird who is responsible for all the details from start to finish.

Where happens with the money raised?

The money is distributed

by Thunderbird Charities to hundreds of worthy organizations in Maricopa County. Our charitable give from the 2018 WM Phoenix Open was over $12.2 million, and we are proud to give back to the community that supports our event with such passion.

Anyone you’re rooting for this year or any concert you’re looking forward to?

I manage the worldwide Tour program for PING Golf for my real job, so I would be lying that I am not pulling for a PING player to hold the trophy the year that I am tournament chairman.

However, believe me, I will be proud to hand the winner’s check to the last man standing regardless of the player.

As for the Birds Nest, each night has its own feel and I like them all.

We have an incredible lineup so it will be a can’t-miss music festival.

but the experience is truly unique in that you see what it takes to put on the ‘Greatest and Greenest Show on Grass.’

Every aspect of the event brings value, so I try and give each the respect it deserves to ensure we have a successful event.
