Layers!
by garridogal
Bring a big one! Bring layers of all kinds of clothing if travelling in Winter. Temps varied between the 30's and 70's while I was there. Lotion, lotion, lotion! The desert air makes your skin dry! Be sure to be able to capture all the colors and brilliant sunshine Can't tell ya - I don't camp. Whatever makes ya happy....
Sushi Downtown
by ArizonaExpert about Stingray
Just wanted to let you travelers know of a great new place in downtown Scottsdale for sushi. Ra used to be the only place, and it is still good...plus the staff is very nice and let's just say...attractive for those that need visual stimulation for eating.
But Stingray is open now about a mile north of Ra on Scottsdale Road and it is an excellent option for sushi and you may not have to wait...like you will with Ra. Chef's choice!
Breakfast
by newsphotogirl about The Good Egg
A decent place to get breakfast. Typical Denny's type fare. A little bit better than Denny's though. A huge menu. They have pretty much anything you could want. And they have a patio if you want to eat outside.
Cosanti Orginals

Tucked away in a residential area, you could almost miss this little gem in Scottsdale. Preferably visit on a day with a slight breeze, so you can walk around the grounds and listen to the beautiful windbells. It truly is a magical place to stop for a bit. Paolo Soleri was a student of Frank Lloyd Wright and has designed these works of art. You can walk around the grounds, enjoy the sounds of the hundreds of windbells, watch as they are crafted, and of course you can purchase them. The bells range from around $30 on up to hundreds or thousands of dollars.

It is loaded with office buildings, and this is where the high end jobs, and people able to afford the residential homes thrive. It is a maze of buildings, and many are along Camelback
