Located in central Arizona about 150 miles south of Flagstaff and 150 miles north of Tucson, Phoenix is situated on a broad, flat desert basin amid scattered barren rocky mountain peaks. It is a large sprawling city that has expanded to almost consist of the surrounding communities of Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, Glendale, and Sun City. It has a small downtown area containing a few dozen high-rise buildings surrounded by a large metropolitan area that has expanded outward rather than upward. Phoenix has attracted many people who come to enjoy the year-round warm climate, the dry desert atmosphere and the relatively modest cost of living. Phoenix and the surrounding areas retain a pleasant arid climate free of the rains and mosquitoes in Florida and without the exorbitant cost of living in Southern California.

Airports

Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) is five miles southeast of downtown Phoenix. Super Shuttle vans serve the whole metro area: Follow the "van services" sign and there will be a Super Shuttle attendant to help you. The vans go to your specific destination and cost between 7 USD and 15 USD to the city and up to 35 USD to Valley Communities, further a field. These fares are for the first person in your party; additional members pay between 5 USD and 15 USD each. Taxis are available just outside the arrivals area. Fares cost between 20 and 25 USD to downtown Phoenix. Car rental is a good idea in Phoenix as it's an easy drive to almost anywhere in the valley and if you have any spare time, a drive up to Pinnacle Peak or Squaw Peak Parks provides great views and a feel for the desert.

Vincent Transportation, Inc. offers reliable limousine travel to and from the airport for $35 each way. Call 602-370-4100 and arrange pick up.

Rental Car Companies

Currency

U. S. Dollar: (USD)=100 cents.

Internet

It is possible to connect to the Internet through the phone sockets of most hotel rooms in the United States. If you own a mobile phone contact your phone company as it may be possible to use this to connect to the Internet.

Time Zone

Phoenix is on Mountain Time Zone. Arizona does not observe daylight saving time, so it can be confusing. In the summer, Phoenix is two hours behind Chicago, while in the winter it is only one. Check the "Time Ticker" for current time in Phoenix.

Climate

Phoenix and its environs are called the Valley of the Sun for good reason: 300 sunny days a year are guaranteed.

The southern desert regions may be without freezing weather for years at a time. Summer is hot and dry with temperatures often reaching 105 degrees Fahrenheit (41 degrees Celsius) in July. Spring and autumn are dry and mild with light rainfall providing relief from the heat.

The desert sun of the Basin and Range Region is very intense throughout the year and so it's absolutely essential to have some form of cover, protective clothing and/or sunscreen if you are going to be spending time outdoors. The dry heat can cause dehydration, so it is important to drink at least eight glasses of water a day. In winter it's advisable to pack something warm to wear, especially if you intend to dine out 'patio-style'.

Language

As in all North American cities, English is the most widely used language in business and tourism. Knowledge of Spanish will be useful.

Getting Around

A commute across the Valley of the Sun can be an exhaustive stretch. Consequently, many Valley residents get around town by automobile. The same is true for Valley tourists. Air-conditioned van or car rental is the most flexible, comfortable and convenient mode of Valley tourist transportation. Central Avenue divides the city into the eastern streets and the western avenues. Thus if you are on 7th Street, you are 7 blocks east of Central, just like if you are on 8th Avenue, you are 8 blocks west of Central, and so forth.

Warning

Phoenix and Scottsdale have red light cameras and the fine is easily $150.00. Scottsdale and Paradise Valley have photo radar so watch your speed. A ticket is approximately $120.00.

If a car is not an option, other modes of transport are available. Valley Metro provides dependable, affordable public transportation with routes serving all of Phoenix, Scottsdale, Glendale, Tempe, Deer Valley, Avondale, and east Valley cities such as Mesa, Chandler, and Gilbert. Weekend travel is available, but some routes, such as the express, only operate Monday through Friday. Valley Metro also offers Dial-a-Ride, a service created to assist special needs passengers, such as disabled individuals and senior citizens 65 and older, incapable of accessing local bus service.

When downtown, take the Phoenix Downtown Area Shuttle: DASH. This free shuttle provides service throughout the downtown/ Capitol area every 4 to 6 minutes, daily. Old Town Scottsdale offers a trolley with posted pickup signs just outside of Old Town boutiques. Numerous taxicab, shuttle, and limousine providers service the Phoenix area, and are used mainly for airport transport.

Bike paths, crosswalks, and sidewalks can be found throughout the entire Valley, providing routes for transportation and exploration. But the Valley?s long distances, congestive traffic and 120-degree weather can make biking and walking a challenge. Be sure to bring plenty of water and sunscreen during the day, and at night, remember that most rural or mountainous areas are not well lit.

Day Trips

CAREFREE - CAVE CREEK



It is rumored that the funky street names of this small community about 30 miles north of Scottsdale (take Scottsdale road north until it turns into Tom Darlington Drive) were decided in a friendly game of poker between founders K. T. Palmer and Tom Darlington. Downtown Carefree host the largest sundial clock in the world and many shops. It is the home of the world renowned Boulders Resort.

Dining

Turn left on to Cave Creek Road (off Tom Darlington Drive) and you will encounter three gems of this little town region. The Satisfied Frog and the Horny Toad are two family oriented restaurants that cater to the locals and tourist alike. The Satisfied Frog with its own brewery is probably the best bet. If you want something on the higher end, try Le Sans Souci: a wonderful French Bistro. 7030 E Bella Vista DR, Cave Creek, AZ 85331. TEL: 480-488-2856 Make sure you order souffl? for dessert.

SEDONA

Just a two-hour drive north of Phoenix (take I - 17 north to route 179, Sedona exit), Sedona, home to hundreds of artists, centers on spires of sun chiseled red rocks and azure skies. Sedona?s 25 square mile enclave is surrounded by vast stretches of national and state forest lands. Portal to the soul cleansing wonder of Sedona's red rock country, Red Rock Scenic Road holds the unique honor of meandering through some of the most breathtaking scenery on earth.

Towering red rock cathedrals soar over the heads of visitors. Many prefer to hike the enchanted wilderness, while others are intrigued by the area's mystical aura. The Coconino National Forest ranger station has general information and maps for each of the 61 hikes in the area, including Oak Creek Canyon. Favorites include Boyton Canyon, Jim Thompson, Devil's Bridge, Broken Arrow and West Fork. Red Rock State Park, just south of Sedona on Highway 89A, is an excellent family stop. Don't miss Sedona's signature formation, Cathedral Rock, which is accessible at the Crescent Moon Picnic Area.
