Looking for more? How about an edge-of-your-seat off-road tour, a marathon shopping excursion or a pampering spa treatment based on ancient Native American healing techniques? And, if your clients would like to experience all of Arizona but only want to unpack once, Scottsdale is the perfect hub from which to explore the rest of the Grand Canyon state.

And this magnificent setting is just the beginning of Scottsdale's story. Read on and let us introduce you to our history, our cultural heritage and our way of life.
