Scottsdale Holidays
Scottsdale has become synonymous with the perfect desert oasis resort with wonderful hotels and resorts, amazing spas and pools, breathtaking golf resorts, and amazing scenery.
Scottsdale’s sunny skies and the lush Sonoran Desert setting make it the perfect starting point for adventures of many kinds. How about hikes on some of the city’s scenic trails to discover the cacti, plants and “critters” that are unique to this delicate ecosystem.
Maybe horseback riding treks, mountain biking adventures and water sports like river rafting and kayaking are your idea of holiday heaven? Perhaps an early morning bird’s-eye view of the desert would be more your cup of tea, with a hot air ballooning trip of a lifetime.
When it comes to family holidays in the Scottsdale, you won’t have to look very far! Many area attractions, including the Desert Botanical Garden, Phoenix Zoo and Heard Museum, boast special activities and programs just for kids.
