Outdoor Activities:
Golf is one of the biggest outdoor sports in the Phoenix area and since there are hundreds of golf courses, you'll find one that is to your liking. During the summer season the green fees are usually cut 50% off the regular price. Of course the temperature could be in the mid 100's, but just make sure if you go out in the Arizona heat, bring a lot of water and wear sunscreen!
Having over 300 days of sunshine, outdoor activities are huge pastimes for visitors and natives. Hike Camelback Mountain, Squaw Peak or the many hiking trails around the Phoenix area, go rock climbing, horseback riding, Hummer tours and even water sports.
If you have a few hours to spare, take a drive to beautiful Sedona. It's been voted #1 most beautiful place in America by USA Weekend and only 2 hours away from Phoenix. Explore the gorgeous red rock by foot, car or horseback or shop at the many art galleries and upscale boutiques. www.visitsedona.com
