Phoenix
Your getaway to Phoenix
A morning hike up Piestewa Peak, enough effort to earn the view, not enough to ruin the day. Breakfast burritos downtown, green chile warming you from the inside. The Heard Museum for a couple of hours, the right amount of history beautifully told. An afternoon wandering Roosevelt Row, coffee in hand, murals around every corner. The Desert Botanical Garden as the light goes soft and the cacti throw long shadows. A Sonoran hot dog from a cart because someone insisted, and they were right. Sunset at Hole-in-the-Rock, sitting in the stone window with strangers who feel like company. Dinner in Scottsdale, a patio, a margarita, no rush to be anywhere. A last evening stroll through Heritage Square, the old brick quiet under string lights. You leave with a little of everything and the suspicion you chose well.
