This is the Original first "craft" coffee hang in Phoenix. It is an absolutely fantastic place for people watching. It is like going to the human zoo to see the absurd to the beautiful. The food is great, the coffee is great and the cocktails are great. This makes for a nice lightrail jaunt from my place to LUX to see some of Downtown Phoenix.

This is a great elevation hike that offers views of the city from the South. Clear views of downtown phoenix and a fun spot to watch the jets fly in and out of the airport. There is also a secret caveway I can tell you about.

THE BEST place to go for information on the local Flora and Fauna. Absolutely worth the scenic 1 hour drive. At the base of the superstitions. If you hit it during wild flower season your mind will be blown.

Sightseeing

Jerome is a cool old mining town atop the Mingus mountains. It overlooks Cottonwood and Sedona. This is a great 1 day roadtrip from Phoenix where you can get some good eats and a drink at the Spirit Room. A very cool daytrip with all sorts of character.

The Apache Trail begins near the superstition mountains and rounds around the range and brings you back through the other side. It is a fantastic 1/2 to full day car exploration of some incredible terrain. It is mostly paved and turns in to a well graded dirt road that can be done in a sedan. Extraordinary during wild flower season and common to see Rams and other wildlife. It passes several lakes and Roosevelt dam. Stop at Tortilla flat for some grub!

If you like Architecture, visit this historic Frank Lloyd Wright project. It is a stunning example of his style. Call the concierge to book a guided tour and learn about the history during construction, the prohibition parties, the architecture and the glamor of this amazing place. I highly recommend it.

If you enjoy checking out cool Mid Century and antique furniture, 7th Ave between Indian School and Camelback is littered with cool vintage shops. Be sure to check out Modern Manner to see some rare pristine pieces. It's close to LUX so hop the light rail, grab a coffee thing and go for a stroll!
