Coming in from out of town? We’re so excited to welcome you to the Valley of the Sun! October is one of the best times to visit — the weather is warm, sunny, and perfect for exploring.

Here are some of our favorite local activities and attractions:

🏜️ Hike Among the Saguaros

Arizona’s desert landscapes are stunning this time of year!

Lost Dutchman State Park – Gorgeous trails with Superstition Mountain views (also the site of our first date!).

Papago Park – A great spot for easy walks and sunset views near the Desert Botanical Garden.

South Mountain Park – One of the largest municipal parks in the U.S. with dozens of scenic trails.

🌺 Explore the Desert Botanical Garden

Located in nearby Phoenix, this peaceful garden showcases desert plants from around the world and is perfect for a relaxed stroll and beautiful photos.

🎨 Stroll through Old Town Scottsdale

Known for its Western charm, art galleries, boutiques, and patio dining. A perfect spot for window shopping, gifts, or a fun afternoon with friends.

🛍️ Shop & Snack at Tempe Marketplace or SanTan Village

Both offer outdoor shopping, dining, and entertainment with cozy fall vibes. Great for guests staying in the East Valley!
