During your trip in the greater Phoenix area, there will be opportunities to slip away from the tournament to enjoy the region’s unique flair and fun. Here are five activities to consider:
DESERT BOTANICAL GARDEN – Thousands of plant species and a riotous variety of color and texture make the Garden a rewarding destination; it’s always amazing to consider the mix of plants, flowers, trees and cacti that are natural, native inhabitants of Arizona. https://www.dbg.org/ SCOTTSDALE – If the mood strikes for a little culture, head to this northern suburb. The restaurants, shopping and art galleries are defined by the finer touches in appearance and style, offering a full-on break from the ballpark experience. https://www.experiencescottsdale.com/activities/ GOLF – If you love to play, your time in and around Phoenix puts you on the doorstep of hundreds of courses, suitable for beginners through experts. Should you get enough time away from the ballpark, tee it up, especially because the weather is ideal – this diversion is a lot more of a challenge in summertime. https://www.visitphoenix.com/things-to-do/golf/ SUPERSTITION MOUNTAINS – On the east side of the metro area sits the jagged, jaw-dropping beauty of the Superstition Mountains, home of numerous hiking trails that can be as challenging as you desire. During the Arizona Fall Showcase, you can tackle these powerfully gorgeous vistas at a great time of the year, when conditions make it a pleasurable journey. http://www.americansouthwest.net/arizona/superstition-mountains/ BLUEGRASS FESTIVAL – FREE to the public, and one of the best bluegrass festivals in Arizona, the Porter Barn Wood 4th Annual Bluegrass Festival and Open House is a great time to enjoy quality music, great food, and meet the people that build at Porter Barn Wood. Nov. 2, 10 a.m.-8 p.m. https://porterbarnwood.com/event/4th-annual-bluegrass-festival-porter-barn-wood/ |
