McDowell Mountain Park has over 40 miles of hiking, mtn biking and horseback riding trails.  A less strenuous trail for beginners is the North Trail which is about 3.1 miles.  If you are looking for a good workout, one of the more strenuous trails is Pemberton at a bit over 15 miles.

The trailhead has great maps and clean restrooms. Animals are welcome. There are many park events such as storytelling, fitness hikes, moonlight hikes, etc, so check out the link below to find one that suits you.

As we live in this wonderful destination resort community we live in whether if it’s 

Yes, you are away from the snow, but not totally. On occasion, snow may fall once or twice a year in “the valley”, and you can actually see snow in the distance. Where? Snow exists and will only stick in higher elevations.  You will never face any type of slippery hazard on roadways here in the Phoenix Valley Metro area.  The winters in the valley can fall in the 30’s and 40’s overnight in some evenings. Otherwise, you will experience the comfortable temperatures in the high 50’s to the mid 70’s, and the sun is still out most of the time! Not a bad feeling at all, is it? Sometimes, our temperatures may reach 80 degrees, a perfect time to get into the pool in as early as February.

Where does snow really exist in Arizona? The higher elevations are the areas where snow exists. You can travel to up to Flagstaff, or Show Low for the wintry elements. What’s great about the climate in Arizona? Here in the “valley of the sun”, it feels like the middle of a Midwestern fall or spring, but in those high country areas, you will experience wintery conditions.

If you are in the mountains and there is snow, you know what that means? Arizona does have destinations for you to go skiing and snowboarding! Yes, no kidding. There 5 resorts for you to go here in the Grand Canyon State this winter!

Arizona Snowbowl:

Arizona Snowbowl is Arizona’s most popular ski resort. It’s located on the San Francisco Peaks in the Conconino National Forest near Flagstaff. The resort is near the highest peaks in the state! The resort has 32 trails with a vertical drop of 2,300 feet. It’s located approximately 2 ½ hours from Downtown Phoenix.

Sunrise Park Resort:

Sunrise Park Resort is a premiere family ski resort. It’s a great place for beginners, located in the White Mountains near Show Low. They have 65 trails that spread over three mountains with a vertical drop of 1,800 feet.  40% of the resort contains beginner friendly trails. It’s located nearly 4 ½ hours from Downtown Phoenix.

Elk Ridge:

Elk Ridge is a family oriented resort and is a popular destination for snowboarders.  The resort has snowboard and tubing recreation areas with a vertical drop of 600 feet. It’s located near Williams and is nearly 3 hours, heading north past Flagstaff from Downtown Phoenix.

Flagstaff Nordic Center:

For those who are not into downhill skiing, Flagstaff Nordic Center is the place for you.  They have 15 trails to choose from with over 25 miles of cross country skiing.

Mt. Lemmon Ski Valley:

Mt. Lemmon Ski Valley is another resort that has some downhill runs. Though, not as steep as the other resorts, its steepest vertical drop is 900 feet. This is a destination resort for the folks in Tuscon and is approximately 3 hours from Downtown Phoenix.

The Appeal Factor of  Arizona:

Many of the reasons the Phoenix, Scottsdale and Valley Metro Areas are so appealing for those looking to relocate is of course, the sunny weather, and the mild winter temperatures, but it’s great for those who love the winter recreation nearby! You do not have to deal with living in the harsh winter elements and enjoy the scenic views of mountains here! If you are looking to buy real estate of your dreams in nearby mountain areas in Scottsdale, Fountain Hills, and Paradise Valley, here are a few homes currently on the market you may consider buying.  Best of all, I have the keys to every home!

This preserved land is filled with landscapes that will just keep you there throughout the whole day. There’s nothing like checking out the scene of stunning views of mountains, cactus, plants and wild animals. Oh, but watch out for those scorpions and diamondback snakes. They have many trails to choose from for mountain bikers, hikers, or even horseback riding!

If you are up for a visit or even looking to relocate to this preserved area, the McDowell Mountain Reserve will be a treasure for your recreational needs for many years to come! For more information, or even become a part of this wonderful preserve, go to www.mcdowellsonoran.org so you can discover, explore, protect and celebrate the world class McDowell Mountain Preserve!

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!
