We may be partial, but we think Scottsdale’s great outdoors is greater than most! Our sunny skies and lush Sonoran Desert create the perfect backdrop for outdoor activities and adventures like hiking, hot air ballooning, horseback riding, off-road tours, river rafting and more. And thanks to our professional guides and outfitters, there’s no experience required to enjoy the best outdoor activities in Scottsdale!
