Desert
Foothills Scenic Drive

short drive along Scottsdale Road is marked with over a dozen
informative signs about the vegetation and natural features of
the area. Views of the surrounding terrain are great from this
road, including Pinnacle Peak and Lone Mountain.
Sanctuary
Golf Course
Discover
a natural alternative to ordinary golf at the
Sanctuary Golf Course at Westworld. Built on the
western slope of Scottsdale's McDowell Mountains and
adjacent to the nationally recognized Westworld
equestrian center, Sanctuary is more than a stunning
18-hole daily-fee golf course.
Shopping
Scottsdale attracts tourists from around the
world, and the unique blend of cultures that formed the
present-day Valley of the Sun means that eclectic shops and
restaurants can be found on every corner.
Of course, a wide variety of more
traditional shopping, including major factory outlet stores and
popular chains, is also available.
