Downtown Scottsdale made the New York Times list of 31 Places to go this Summer.

At #9 despite the summer being the valley's off-season, this will provide a boost to the state's tourism industry.   
   
The Times states:  "Downtown Scottsdale is turning into a desert version of Miami's South Beach.  No ocean of course, but plenty of late-night partying and a buzzing hotel scene."

Also making the list at #12 - Monument Valley  and # 22 Lake Powell.

Also Phoenix Magazine has a great article of Summer getaways - Chill out by 20 of the state's most spectacular summer waterfalls.  I bought the magazine and wow, they weren't kidding what spectacular pictures.  Our family has a summer home in Payson and we plan on visiting a few of the waterfalls that are on the list.

Arizona is a great place to visit and travel anytime of the year, please visit our website
