Culture and heritage
Desert Botanical Garden
In Papago Park, the Desert Botanical Garden brings together the most expressive forms of the Sonora Desert: erect saguaros, blue-blue agaves, ocotillos and short blooms after the rains. The trails are particularly beautiful early in the morning or late in the day, when the light cuts the thorns and quails cross the alleys.
Culture and heritage
Heard Museum
The Heard Museum The visit also focuses on more difficult issues, including the history of Indian residential schools, which are treated with sobriety and precision.
Place indismissible
Taliesin West
Taliesin West was the winter house and workshop of Frank Lloyd Wright, laid at the foot of the McDowell Mountains as a desert-based construction. The visits reveal its low walls in local stone, its tense canvases, its oblique angles and this very physical way of bringing light, heat and landscape into architecture.
Nature and panorama
Camelback Mountain
Camelback Mountain dominates Phoenix with a camel back silhouette recognizable from much of the valley. Its short but steep trails attract experienced hikers for views of Scottsdale, Phoenix neighborhoods and the surrounding dry mountains, especially when the heat has not hardened the rock yet.
