Scottsdale is known for its world-class resorts, but part of what makes these accommodations stand out beyond their luxurious rooms, fine dining options, spas and golf courses are their hidden offerings. Check out some of the ways you can make the most of your Scottsdale vacation with these unique resort experiences.
The Boulders Resort and Spa
Explore massive 12 million-year-old boulders up close with the resort’s Rock Climbing adventure. Expert guides help you experience the thrill of real rock climbing as you push your current boundaries and learn a new skill. Other on-property adventures include a moonlight bike ride on the resort's winding paths and the Sonoran Explorin' nature tour.
The Westin Kierland Resort and Spa
After a day on the golf course or exploring the city, gather in Dreamweavers Canyon where a bagpiper heralds the coming sunset. After dinner, stay with the theme stop by the resort's Scotch Library, which offers more than 300 different whiskies for your tasting pleasure and a Scotch Ambassador to guide you on your journey.
