Capture the Funshine in
Tempe, a vibrant urban oasis in the heart of the Phoenix area, has its own personality. This refreshingly offbeat college town is home to Arizona State University (ASU), one of the largest universities in the country. It’s just minutes from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) and accessible via METRO light rail. Tempe’s spirited lifestyle is welcoming and creates a contagious energy. You can feel it on the Arizona State University Tempe Campus where students sporting maroon and gold learn big ideas. You can feel this vibe at fun-filled festivals, theater productions, comedy shows and art exhibitions at ASU Art Museum. And, you’ll never forget when your children see the desert for the first time or feed a giraffe at the Phoenix Zoo. It’s a place where you can earn your personal best at the P.F. Chang's Rock 'n' Roll Arizona Marathon & ½ Marathon or Ironman Arizona. You can go kayaking or paddleboarding on Tempe Town Lake, or just relax poolside underneath a colorful umbrella. Tempe, Arizona has long been a haven for energetic travelers who like their winters mild and their days sunny. Here in the sun-splashed Sonoran Desert, the list of things to do is as long as it is unexpected. 1-800-283-6734

Traversing Trails
A hiking and biking guide
The natural Sonoran Desert landscape can be discovered easily from Tempe. From a leisurely stroll along cactus-lined pathways to heart pumping bike rides, you’ll find the right fit for your level of adventure. Here are a few of the most popular trails in and around Tempe – just minutes from any of our hotels.
Papago Park is centrally located, bordered by Tempe, Phoenix and Scottsdale. There are more than 10 miles of trails that roll through the hills, perfect for hikers and mountain bikers. Trails are accessible from College Avenue and Curry Road and along Galvin Parkway near the Phoenix Zoo. Bike riders should check out the Cross Cut Canal Path, a paved pathway lined with public art and scenic overlooks. The entrance is on the east side of Mill Avenue, just north of Curry Road.
A
B
“A” Mountain is one of the most popular hiking trails in Tempe. It is located in the middle of our downtown and is easily recognizable with the large gold A, for Arizona State University, on its south side. The hike to the top is quick, but steep towards the end of the trail. From its peak, you can see Tempe Town Lake, Downtown Tempe and the ASU campus. Trails with less of an incline wrap around the mountain. Access the trails from Third Street and Mill Avenue.
C
South Mountain Park and Preserve is one of the largest municipal parks in the United States with more than 16,000 acres. There are 51 miles of horseback riding, hiking and mountain biking trails that navigate through this scenic desert environment. Choose from intense trails with steep inclines, or flat trails that allow a relaxing, close-up look at desert plants. The closest trailhead is located off of 48th Street, just north of Guadalupe Road.
D
Camelback Mountain is one of the most iconic, and challenging, hiking destinations in the Phoenix area. For this reason, the parking lot can fill up very quickly, especially during the winter and spring. If the entry gate is closed, hikers are asked to return 15-20 minutes later to see if parking is available. Camelback Mountain is located north of Tempe. The Echo Canyon Trail is located on McDonald Drive, near Tatum Boulevard. The Cholla Trail is located on Cholla Lane, a street south of McDonald Drive on the west side of Invergordon Road.
E
Piestewa Peak in Phoenix is surrounded by Phoenix Mountains Park and Recreation Area and Dreamy Draw Recreation Area. The popular summit trail rises more than 1,100 feet. There are also dozens of hiking and biking trails around the mountain that are less strenuous, but equally beautiful. Trailheads are located off of Squaw Peak Drive, near Lincoln Drive/Glendale Avenue, just west of 32nd Street, and at 32nd Street and Lincoln.
