As a respectable hiker, I'm not going to call this a hike but it is a cool experience. I stopped by…read moreon Memorial Day in the afternoon by design. It was 95 degrees so I knew a challenging hike would be out of the question. Something like Hole-in-the-Rock though, easy peasy. While there were a decent number of people there, I had no trouble finding free parking. This natural wonder is located in Papago Park close to the Phoenix Zoo and the Desert Botanical Garden. After you park, you'll have a five-minute walk to get to Hole-in-the-Rock. You'll have to climb an incline to get in the hole, so definitely be careful, but there are kids that do it too. And a lot of tourists that show up. So that pretty much sums it up. Once you get inside, you'll have an awesome view of the Phoenix through a literal hole in a big rock. You'll see a lot of people using it as a photo opp. That's not really my style, so instead, I took a seat and enjoyed the beauty for 10 minutes or so. It can get pretty crowded so keep that in mind if you stop by on a weekend. Hole-in-the-Rock is one of the top attractions on TripAdvisor in Phoenix. Definitely a cool (and short) adventure to cross of the bucket list. I spent 30 minutes there (which included hanging out in the rock for half the time).

Buyers be aware. I live in one of the condominiums. Community may be nice but association fees as…read moreof the first of this year for condominium side is $ 490.00 a month. Now remember you are paying two association fees. One for condominium side and second association fees is just to have an access to the club house which I never use. Basically you are paying more than residents who own houses in the community. This is outrageous. If you don't use club house you should not pay. There is no way to brake the fees according to the board. Now trying to sell and not going well. Potential buyers are outraged to get small condo, pay between 300 K - 400 K and on top of that almost $500.00 in association monthly fees. For some of us this is a car payment. That's there response.

Last night, I had the absolute BEST time at this place. I've never been to a rage room before, but…read moreI've always wanted to go. I'm so glad that my first experience was here. My fella and I made a reservation for (what was probably) their last slot, 9pm. They offer a $10 cash discount, so we opted to pay cash for our time. The guys behind the counter were super nice, very knowledgeable (we had a few questions), and explained the whole process. We went for the splatter room, so we were offered ponchos and shoe covers. I intentionally wore things I didn't care about, so I took neither - my fella took the shoe covers. Inside, the room itself is pretty bonkers. It's relatively small-ish, but the set up is really convenient and easy to navigate in. There is paint dripping from EVERY surface lol the walls are thick with it, the barrels on which the canvas sits have puddles, your shoes slightly stick to the floor. It was a totally different experience than what I was expecting, in a good way. We got to throw paint anywhere we wanted. I splattered the walls, the floor, the door, what I could reach of the ceiling, and my fella (of course). By the end of our 45 minutes, I was COVERED and glowing (as the paint was neon and we chose the black light room). I know it wasn't a rage room, but it was still really cathartic. One of the best parts was that I got to hook my phone up to their Bluetooth speaker and jam loudly to my favorite music. This was, by far, one of the best experiences I've had in a long time. It was just such a fun thing to do, and I recommend coming here as often as possible (they have punch cards!).

This was my second year at AZ Rise Up, and while I haven't been to Tempe Beach Park as an actual…read morepark in... honestly, I don't even know how long... as a festival venue? Solid. Like, genuinely well done. They space the vendor area far enough from the stages so you're not fighting for your life trying to shop while also dodging people who are deep in their "vibe." Huge win. The stages are set up in a way where, even when artists are playing at the same time, it doesn't feel like a chaotic sound clash, which I did not expect but fully appreciated. Also noticed they adjusted the layout a bit this year (especially around the Rise Up stage), and it worked. Way smoother flow overall. GA+ still not exactly bursting at the seams, but hey, more room for the rest of us. Sound? On point. Setup? Thought out. Experience (overall)? Actually great. Now... the people. Let's just say there comes a moment in life where you realize a fan base is no longer your fan base. And for me, that moment was somewhere between hour 8 and hour 9 of holding down my spot, when I got full-on trampled by someone who apparently believed personal space is a myth. Ma'am. I had been standing there for nearly 9 hours. NINE. This was not a casual pop-in situation. Up until that point, everything had been amazing. The music, the energy, the flow, chef's kiss. But that one interaction? Immediate vibe break. That said, I'm choosing growth here: I genuinely hope she finds whatever she's running toward... and maybe learns how not to run directly through people to get there. Overall though? As a venue for this fest, Tempe Beach Park absolutely delivers. I'll be back... just maybe with stronger crowd boundaries and a little more side-eye.

We've visited the Tempe Beach Park area a few times for events like breast cancer walks and…read morefestivals. It's a beautiful location with scenic views of the bridges and water, and there's even a nearby museum which adds to the experience. Parking can be a bit of a mixed situation. There is a parking garage available, but it does require payment. We also noticed an additional open lot next to the garage where you can park for free; however, it is gated and the surface is mostly dirt and rocks, so just something to keep in mind. One thing we didn't come across was a public restroom, so it's unclear where the nearest one is located. Overall, it's a great area to visit and enjoy events. My only suggestion would be to add more parking options or provide a designated free parking area for visitors, so not everyone has to pay for parking.

The Green Belt is located in the heart of Scottsdale and is 11 miles long. It extends from Shea Boulevard in central Scottsdale all the way to Tempe Town Lake. The Scottsdale Green Belt is also known as Indian Bend Wash Greenbelt. It consists of parks, lakes, trails, picnic tables, gardens, and golf courses. There are so many activities to enjoy here like fishing, volleyball, and bike riding. My personal favorites are disc golf and the skate park. I like to stop here and break out my longboard for a ride. The nice about the Green Belt is that it is pretty well lit at night if you want to hang out later hours.
