Fountain Hills Artists' Gallery

Reviewed By jankB2396VW - Phoenix, United States

I make a point of visiting local artisan galleries wherever I travel. I don't always find something I like. On the contrary, at the Fountain Hills Artists' Gallery, I ALWAYS find something I like and want, either for myself or a gift. They are on my constant itinerary for out of town visitors. There is an eclectic group of artists and media, all artfully arranged--truly something for everyone. They are always organizing fun and creative ways to expose the gallery--a specific theme for a fun evening, or classes (and I've taken a couple of classes; people actually think I'm an ARTIST when they see my creations!). Even during our coronavirus quarantine, they are keeping in touch with their art family and showing their works online. BRAVO! They deserve our support!

McDowell Mountain Regional Park

Reviewed By BenDillow - Redlands, United States

I suspect there are only about a hundred or more great hikes out of Scottsdale, and we failed to do too much homework settling for a bit of reading and a dart board. We ended up driving up to McDowell Mountain Regional Park, worried a bit because at the Visiter Center there was one car, and Trail Head revealed a second car. After fighting a full house at the Dodger game the previous day we worried, but here we were and so off we went...in the quiet, really quiet of a desert open (virtually) to the two of us. Mom is a year out from a hip transplant so the trail needed to be welcoming, the length not draconian, and the 3 mile north loop offered both. Imagine—all our time there and not a telephone pole or wire, not a house in sight, not a street to cross, or an intersection to forge. Our February mid 60s bright sunshine polished the apple more and while the desert awaits the April rains for full bloom, the quiet (did I mention that) majesty of this place calmed, soothed, and elevated.
