Things to do - North Scottsdale Eddition

[HNL2LHC]

Gotta take the trip to have the next MRI. 5th year so we are only once a year….Woooo Hoooo!!!! Been a crazy few months for various reasons. I was hoping to get to planning today & tomorrow. So I will instead post up to the internet weirdos of RDP and ask for suggestions. We are enjoying the cool temps this time of year and open to anything weather it be sightseeing or meals. Want to try things that we have not really done In the past. Not that we have done much in the past. LOL Thinking that there might be a cool trial somewhere with a view that would be like Diamond Head or the like an hour or two long an. Not too exhausting in the skill level with a nice view of something. Post up any thoughts that you might have.

Thanks!!!

Hike Camelback mountain, takes a couple of hours each way on the easy side. You can do the steep side in under a hour if you hustle. Great views from up top.

Not an outdoorsy activity, but the MIM Musical Instrument Museum is excellent, if your into that sort of thing.

Speedy makes an excellent suggestion with MIM

For trails in North Scottsdale this park is very popular.

McDowell Sonoran Preserve

Depending upon how North you are staying, this is popular in cave creek.

For a hike and view in phoenix, as suggested camelback is popular but an easier logistical hike with views is Squaw Peak/Piestawa Peak and the trails around Dreamy Draw.

Had the Tampiquena there Tuesday. As good of a piece of carne asada I’ve ever had. Went in there hoping to catch the Dodger game. Ended up watching on my phone and giving the bartenders score updates. The hotel had a shitload of construction going on.

I had the deluxe view room

That is right around the corner from where we are. Might have to go give that a try tomorrow. Ended up going to Isabella’s for dinner tonight. Nice casual dinning and perfect for the evening. A nice bit of rain has rolled in with a bit of lightening. I love the desert when that happens. We shall see what tomorrow brings.

Penske museum is nice if you like cars. https://www.penskeautomall.com/penske-racing-museum/

if you like architecture the Frank Lloyd Wright Museum is good. https://franklloydwright.org/taliesin-west-tours/

Phoenix Zoo is decent this time of year.

Downtown Scottsdale has shopping, food, and drink.

Casinos.

My wife and I did the Christmas zoo lights thing last year, we actually enjoyed it.

Probably going to go again this year.
