Return to Granite Mountain
Did you ever wake up on a sunny morning that was not too hot and decide that you wanted to take a hike that was not too long and not too hard? Then Granite Mountain is for you!
Scottsdale Civic Center
The Scottsdale Civic Center, nestled at one end of Old Town, has been closed until recently for rennovation. We stopped by to take a look at the results.
