May brings a taste of summer to the Phoenix-Scottsdale area with high temperatures reaching the mid-90s under bright, sunny skies--the perfect weather for hitting the links at one of Scottsdale's many courses or relaxing pools. Want to explore the area's nature trails and stunning desert scenery? Venture out in the morning or early evening when the weather is cooler for some hiking at Pinnacle Peak or Lookout Mountain. Whatever the time of day, there's always something happening in Phoenix--from live outdoor music to great food, the city has plenty of fun May events.
There is no better way to take in Arizona's desert views than from a hot air balloon in the sky. With Rainbow Ryders Hot Air Balloon Ride Co., you can catch some sunrise views of the Sonoran Desert and chat about your ride afterward over prickly pear mimosas and breakfast hors d'oeuvres
Fore! Play a Round of Golf
Scottsdale is home to some of the most lavish and scenic golf courses in the United States. The sunny, carefree weather is ideal for playing a morning game at Troon North, Grayhawk, or We-Ko-Pa.
