Thanks for the info on Gold Canyon AZ. We will be coming to Chandler but hubby will be busy all day. How far from Phoenix is Chandler? Is there anything around Chandler to occupy my time? How about shopping, museums, etc? How terribly hot is the area in October? Thanks for the info!
Chandler is about 15 miles southeast of Downtown Phoenix. Driving time depends on where in Chandler you're going.
There's quite a bit of shopping in Chandler, specifically the Chandler Fashion Center (101@Chandler Blvd) and some stuff near the I-10 freeway. They've also recently built quite a bit near Arizona Avenue (AZ 87) and the 202 on the south side of town.
No museums, but there is one in Mesa, as well as the Mormon temple. The only tourist attraction that I know of in Chandler is a dairy, though that may not be interesting to you.
Arizona begins to cool in October. Highs should be in the low- to mid-90's with nightly lows in the 60's. 100 is still possible at that time of year though.
Do you know anything about the Rotorway factory that is there?
Sorry, I've never heard of it.
This mountain stands alone as an isolated pinnacle in the North Mountain area. It is close by Piestewa and Stoney Mtns. The hike was not all the far, but the last 200 yards was steep climbing up to the crest on loose rock, and has a 400 elevation gain over only 1/2 mile. There also is a loop hike around the mountain, which I did 1/2 of that 3 miles.
Its quite common to drive from Arizona into Mexico (Rocky Point). The trip is about 230 miles one way (4 to 5 hrs). Rocky Point is about 60 miles into Mexico. Its the nearest place you can go to for the beach from Phoenix.
It is highly advicable to get Mexican Car Insurance before leaving Arizona. You can easily get it in the border towns of Why and Ajo.
Several in Phoenix Metro but I have only used the Scottsdale one. Very clean, all you can eat, choices change according to time of day (Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner) price varies too from about $6 to$10. Ample seating, manager always around, table staff always cleaning, food very good quality. Two friends from England hardly ate anywhere else in 2 weeks. Breakfast, Eggs scrambled and or poached, bacon, hashbrowns, cornedbeef hash,sausages,mushrooms,biscuits(US style) and gravy, breaded chicken, tea.coffee,juices,toast and jam or marmalade or honey and the breakfast 'period' lasts for about 3 hours! Fill your boots! (sorry, no carryouts)
The Mimi's Cafe dining experience is more than just good food. It's friendly, helpful people and the warm, comfortable atmosphere of home. They serve you classic American dishes, made from scratch, in a colorful, French New Orleans - inspired atmosphere. I have to recommend a couple items, first the Boeuf Français - beef dip Nu Awlins' style, roast top round 'Au Jus' on grilled sourdough French baguette with a side of fries. Now that's a huge sandwich!!! You may also want to try the 5-Way Grilled Cheese Sandwich - sourdough bread with cheddar, jack, swiss and mozzarella inside, grilled with parmesan outside (goooey and messy but oh so good) with a side of french onion soup.
This zoo is quite different from many of the zoos on the east coast of the USA. This zoo covers much more wide open space and is a joy to walk through. It was really interesting to see some of the more 'local' animals, such as the mountain goats.
