Nature & outdoor adventure
Dependable sunshine and warm temperatures make outdoor activities a way of life in Phoenix. Golf, tennis, hiking, mountain biking and rock climbing are popular Phoenix activities. Horseback riding is a great way to see the Sonoran Desert, as is a rugged Jeep or Hummer ride. Thrill seekers can soar above the desert plateau in a glider, sailplane or hot-air balloon, or satisfy their need for speed at the Bondurant School of High Performance Driving. Holidaymakers can also choose from water skiing, sailing,fishing and tubing in the region’s lakes and rivers.The Phoenix area is not just surrounded by mountains and Sonoran Desert, but the desert lives within the city as well.
