Both mountains have  more than one path.  Piestewa Peak has quite a wide variety of paths up, over and around it.  The main hike would be the one where you go up to the top.  It’s just over a mile to the top, the website can give you all the details.  http://www.phoenix.gov/PARKS/hikephx.html  , and there are many other paths that lead many different directions and offer a variety of levels of difficulty. 

Camelback Mountain, is our most note-worthy mountain that most people have heard of because it is the landmark that Phoenix, Scottsdale and Paradise Valley are all wrapped around . Not too mention–it does look just like a camel’s back truly–you decide?

There are 2 main paths to the top of Camelback Mountain, both of them lean toward advanced hikes-(notated as strenuous and difficult by park service) but  each one offers a different type of hiking.  Also, check the web-sites because dogs on leashes are allowed on most of the paths  http://phoenix.gov/PARKS/hikcmgud.html .  As a full time realtor for eXp Realty–hiking offers me an escape to do what I love but just a short distance from work or home–minutes is all it takes.  These 2 peaks are so centrally located to everything–that you can consider these hikes a work-out and not a day trip. 

If you are thinking about relocating to the Valley, please call me and I can give you any real estate info you may need while considering buying a home in the Scottsdale or Paradise Valley area.  Please check out my websites for more info   www.scottsdaleparadise.com  or  www.phoenixpowersearch.com

All the way up and down Scottsdale road there are thousands of stores,  featured inside the many  shopping centers.  Kierland is one of the most beautiful outdoor malls in the vallley, with an excellent selection of stores including,  J.Crew, Victoria’s Secret, Anthropology (one of my favorites) Coldwater Creek, an enormous Border’s Books and many, many more great shops.  The restaurant selection is also abundant with 2 of Sam Foxs’ restaurants, The Greene House & North,  a Tommy Bahamas Restaurant,  Starbucks,  Cold Stone Creamery and a home town favorite , Zinc Bistro. The food is always delicious–must try the french fries, and a great wine selection–Zinc Bistro reminds me of being on the Titanic–it has that turn of the century feel, with very delicious and updated cuisine.

After a long day of shopping, you can visit any number of bars and restaurants, enjoy the cool air conditioning, rest your feet and spend some quality time while enjoying some good eats and drinks!

Across the street from Kierland, you will find a brand new, very fun and funky outdoor mall called the Scottsdale Quarter   http://www.scottsdalequarter.com/  I  really love this new mall because it is home to the international clothing retailer H&M, one of my favorites, and then West Elm and  William Sonoma Home–2 amazing home furnishing stores , one high end and one for the first time home buyer (West Elm is very similar to the Ikea look and feel  ) that are brought to us by the same corporation as the  Williams Sonoma stores. With plans for up to 10 chic, new restaurants.  The Oakville Grocery is already a huge hit, stay for lunch or just as easily grab a gourmet meal to go!

As your real estate professional for the Scottsdale/ Paradise Valley area…make sure you make an appointment with me, Wendy Cracchiolo, with eXp Realty, to preview some of the most beautiful homes that are flooding our market and the prices have never been so low.  Great selection and very motivated sellers!
