Wild Wild West Adventures in Scottsdale

Scottsdale, Arizona is a wonderful place to visit in your free time.  Located close to Phoenix, the area is in an optimal location and is surrounded by the Sonoran Desert.  Given the type of terrain, there are many types of tours and activities available to you, should you decide to go out and explore.

To truly appreciate Scottsdale for all that it is worth, you can join a Hummer or ATV tour through the desert, check out a dinner show, go out on a fishing boat, and lots more.  If you are feeling up for an adventure, you can take the Happy Trails Horseback Ride.  During your trip, you will saddle up and ride a well-trained horse for an hour-long nature walk through the desert.  This ride is fine for beginners and is also appropriate for those who have a wealth of experience with horses.

The desert and mountains will never look as beautiful as they do when you are riding alongside them and feeling like it is all a part of you.  This is an experience that can’t be duplicated anywhere else, and you are in for the ride of your life whether you decide to take it alone or with a loved one. 

If none of these ideas strike your fancy, Scottsdale Tours is sure to have something on offer that will.  There is something for everyone in Arizona, and Scottsdale and its surrounding areas are no different.  For more information, visit www.scottsdaletours.net. 

Explore Phoenix by Hummer

Take a trip to Phoenix and you will immediately feel like you have been transported to a whole different time.  The city is full of history dating back to the mid-1800s when it was formally incorporated, and as you tour the area you will be given a rundown on pivotal points on Phoenix’s historical timeline.

A great way to experience the rugged terrain is on one of the Hummer Tours offered by Phoenix Tours.  On the Four Peaks Hummer Tour in particular, you will cruise around in your comfortable vehicle and enjoy outstanding views of  Arizona’s peaks as you journey along the rough and rocky ground. 

You will visit Saguaro Lake, which is a favorite boating location that is brimming with various species of fish.  It is located between Phoenix and Sunflower.  The Superstition Mountains, also highlighted on the trip, are a preferred recreational area for Phoenix area residents and provide the perfect backdrop for your tour.  Finally, there will be a stop at Weaver’s Needle, which is frequently visited by rock climbers and those searching for gold.  People have continued to comb this area because of a legend that the shadow it casts will lead to the Lost Dutchman’s Gold.

Along the way, you may be surprised at the amount of wildlife you encounter, including lizards, scorpions, tarantulas, coyotes, and others in addition to the cacti dotting the area.  If you so choose, you can also take a look around at night on the Hummer Night Tour from Scottsdale.  This tour takes you through the desert in total darkness, as your tour guide will use military Nite Vision to lead you along the path.  Guests use Nite Vision Scopes, allowing them to have a look at their surroundings and at the wildlife that are said to move around a lot more after dark.

For those who are interested in astronomy, there is a chance to try out the new “Sky Scout,” a handheld scope that gives audio and visual information on individual planets.  Each person on the tour gets their own so you can have a personal planetarium right at your fingertips!

Whether you choose to check out Phoenix’s desert during the day or at night, you are sure to gain a unique perspective on the area.  Seeing it all by Hummer allows you a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see it all up close like never before.

The park is known for its vast array of wildflowers which bloom at different times during the year.  If you are lucky enough to take this tour in late February, wildflower season is just beginning.  You will see the vivid colors of the annuals at the lower elevations of the park.  In the spring, the cacti will begin to bloom their bright, waxy flowers.  In the desert regions above 5,000 feet, the plants begin blooming as late as June.  No matter which time of the year you plan on making your trip, you will undoubtedly be amazed by the beautiful floral collection this park contains. 

As the park is named after the Joshua tree, you will of course see plenty of these twisted, spiky trees during your journey.  While you ride in the massive Hummer, you will probably spot many animals such as fox, bighorn sheep, several snakes and some of the 250 bird species that make their home in the park.
