"Sun-soaked days and cool autumn evenings: Fall is the perfect time to visit Scottsdale, Arizona. From desert-chic boutiques to five-star resorts and dining, visitors come to this upscale enclave to be pampered. They also come for the thrills. Surrounded by the vast Sonoran Desert, Scottsdale is an adventure lover's dream for hiking, biking and rumbling over rock-strewn roads in a rugged four-wheeler with Desert Dog Offroad Adventures. Their guided ATV Sand Buddy experience is a thrill-ride through the Tonto National Forest."
"Cyclists can ride on the surprisingly lush path along a 30-mile greenbelt that connects Scottsdale to Tempe, and by air the award-winning company Rainbow Ryders soars high above the Sonoran Desert in colorful hot air balloons. Their sunrise and sunset tours put you in a pastel painting with unforgettable views of Scottsdale's serene beauty. It's a thrill ride too but with safety top of mind. Rainbow Ryders' balloon pilots all hold FAA commercial pilot licenses, medical certificates and have a minimum of 500 flight hours."
