Piestewa Peak Trailhead

2701 Piestewa Peak Dr, Phoenix, AZ 85016, USA

This is a classic hike when visiting Phoenix, as well as our favorite local hike! Challenge yourself and see if you can summit without stopping or beat Cassie & Thomas's time of 30min to the top! The best time to hike this is at sunset or at night!

"A" Mountain Tempe

201 S Packard Dr, Tempe, AZ 85281, USA

You didn't properly visit Tempe if you don't hike up "A" mountain! The best time to hike is at sunset, but it is neat to see the city and Tempe Town Lake during the daytime as well!

Mill Avenue Shops

414 S Mill Ave #114, Tempe, AZ 85281, USA

During the daytime, there are shops, but at night this turns into a bar scene! Our favorite bar on this street is Lowkey - Cassie's favorite drinks are a jello-shot and watermelon fishbowl. You'll know why when it arrives! Our favorite food places on this strip are Pedal Haus and Fuzzy's. A unique place is Snakes & Lattes - you can play board games while drinking & eating apps!
