Scottsdale
The proud saguaro cactus reigns over this legendary frontier. Backed by an army of rugged mountain peaks with names like Superstition and Camelback, the native succulent stands staunch, sunrise to sunset, an enduring symbol of the Sonoran Desert. At the heart of this fabled frontier, Scottsdale lies like a gleaming star in the Valley of the Sun, laced with the customs of the Hopi, Apache, and Navajo nations. A sophisticated resort town, ten miles from Phoenix, Scottsdale is a haven for artists, and its mythical vistas provide a paradise setting for sports and outdoors enthusiasts year round.
