PHOENIX Top Selling Tips...
• Hot destination… "Extreme summer heat sees prices tumble, enabling travellers to get a bargain or ‘trade up’. Savvy visitors take advantage of the ubiquitous air- con in the middle of the day then venture out in the mornings and evenings when the climate is pleasantly balmy"
• Out and About… "There’s lots more to do than just lay by the pool. Phoenix and Scottsdale have a year- round wealth of cultural and sporting events"

Don’t Miss Explore the Wild West: Go mining at atmosphere-laden Goldfield Ghost Town, take in a gunfight at Rawhide Western Town or train to be a wrangler at Phoenix Cowboy College – before
sampling such unique culinary treats as brazed rattlesnake and prickly pear infused treats. Explore the Southwest as an outdoor
adventurer. Three major mountains buttress Phoenix, providing visitors with every grade of high-desert pursuit. Hikers can traverse 50 miles of trails at South Mountain Park and Preserve while mountain bikers can pedal to the top of McDowell Mountain before
hurtling back down. There are hot air ballooning, boating,
kayaking and Jeep tour opportunities, too.
The famed Heard Museum uses outstanding traditional and
contemporary art to give insight into the culture of local Native American tribes. Such resorts as Destination Fort Mc Dowell and the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass property complete the Native American experience with cultural orientations and native- inspired spa treatments. It is also the
75th anniversary of Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic Taliesin West.

A visit to Phoenix opens up a world of cultural and natural excursions that will leave you breathless. The warmth of the rich traditions of the Hispanic and Native American cultures are second only to the warm weather experienced year round.
The outdoor experience in greater Phoenix is not limited to the posh pools and desert trails that dot the landscape. Outdoor shopping centers allow visitors to stroll park-like settings in search of values, and desert sunsets provide the picturesque backdrop to the perfect patio dinner overlooking the city.
The climate naturally lends itself to a destination abundant with memorable activities. Visions of colorful skies and landscapes filled with red rock mountain tops and flora exclusive to the Sonoran Desert beckon visitors year-around.
