Scottsdale

A Desert Calling

(page 1 of 4)

Beautiful sunsets, vibrant foliage, expansive views, world-class resorts, golfing, dining, arts aplenty, and shopping that would impress even a Kardashian.

Where is this…heaven on Earth? Rome? Paris? New York? Nope. It’s Scottsdale, Arizona! From October through May, the desert is awash in color and gorgeous weather. A two-hour flight from Sacramento to Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport and then a quick shuttle ride will take you to a number of fabulous resorts in the Valley of the Sun.

First stop on my escape was the incredible Four Seasons Resort at Troon North – home of Arizona’s number one- and two-ranked golf courses. Nestled in the foothills of Pinnacle Peak, the Four Seasons was named on Condé Nast Traveler’s prestigious “Gold List” of resorts and honored by Travel + Leisure Magazine as one of the “World’s Best Hotels.” The resort is family-friendly, yet perfect for a romantic getaway or weddings.
