Food Scene

Amazing breakfast/brunch/lunch place. They run various daily specials. I've had most of them and they are phenomenal. Regardless of what you order, make sure to get one pancake to share because I can guarantee you it's the best one you'll ever have.

Drinks & Nightlife

Laid back yet trendy atmosphere. The drinks aren't outstanding but it's walking distance from our carriage home and provides a great place to hang out and have some drinks.

One of my personal favorites! Looks very divey and perhaps down right sketchy from the outside but this is some of the friendliest bar staff I've ever met. As an added bonus, they make some quality drinks!

It speaks for itself... an arcade bar!!! I'm not even a particularly nerdy, gamer type (okay, I'm nerdy... but not a gamer) but I have a blast every time I come here.

Parks & Nature

Not for the faint of heart, the Piestewa Peak summit trail can be difficult depending on your level of physical activity. However, once you reach the summit you can see the entire valley. Do not hike without water, a small snack, and sunscreen. Make sure to only hike in early morning hours during the summer, if at all.

Arts & Culture
