2. Explore the Desert Botanical Garden
The meandering paths of the Desert Botanical Garden wind through red buttes of Papago Park. The Desert Botanical Garden hosts one of the world’s finest collections of desert plants of the Southwest. The Garden is a fun place to explore no matter what the season. In early spring there are often special delights with butterfly exhibits, wildflowers and blooming cacti.

3. Take the Scenic Apache Trail Drive into the
Superstitions
A drive on the Apache Trail is one of the most scenic drives near the Phoenix area. This well-travelled road affords visitors an incredible view of canyons, geologic formations, desert plants and trees, desert and lake views, and wildflowers in season. There is mining history and wild west intrigue on a trip to the Superstitions. Take a day and schedule a ride on the Dolly Steamboat on Canyon Lake. ApacheTrail Tour DollySteamboat Cruise

5. Visit Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West in Scottsdale
Learn about Frank Lloyd Wright's style of desert architecture on the beautiful site of Taliesin West. I highly recommend that you include Taliesin West in your list of things to do while in Scottsdale or the Phoenix valley. You'll see Wright's home as he left it, the art-filled grounds and learn about the education young architects received on the desert grounds. Taliesin West Tour Information.
