We won’t lie to you. It’s hot in the desert during the summer. But you know what makes the higher temperatures worth it? Lower prices. We’re talking up to 60 percent off high-season rates. You know what else helps? Air conditioning. And pools. We’ve got lots of those. And you know what we don’t have that you won’t miss? Gross humidity. Plus, there are a number of early morning and evening activities that’ll keep you cool, and leave plenty of time for poolside lounging. Come on – where else can you stay at a Four Seasons for less than $200 per night?
HIGH-OCTANE FUN IN THE SONORAN DESERT
The Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North is offering rates starting at $195 per night June 1 – Sept. 12. And with its location in the foothills of Pinnacle Peak Park, it’s the ideal destination if you’re a thrill-seeker looking to beat-the-heat with a hike or rock climb in the cooler morning and night temperatures. For more of a high-rollin’ experience, take your adventure up a notch through the resort’s partnership with Arizona Outback Adventures where you kayak the Salt River, fly to the Grand Canyon, or summit Tom’s Thumb in the McDowell Mountains.
Supplement your Scottsdale adventure experience:
During a Night Storm Adventure with Desert Storm Hummer Tours, don full military Raytheon Thermal Scopes (fancy night vision goggles) and seek out Sonoran Desert flora and fauna
The Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving’s Advanced Formula Car Racing or Grand Prix Road Racing classes at 15 percent off
A sunrise (its 30 degrees cooler than the afternoon!) or sunset hot air balloon ride from Hot Air Expeditions or Rainbow Ryders, Inc
A RE“TREAT” FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
Sip, Savor & Splash at the Fairmont Scottsdale where accommodations start at $149 per night with a $50 daily food and beverage credit May 17 – Sept. 9. On Memorial Day Weekend, the resort will re-open its interactive National Geographic Explorers Camp for kids but it won’t be just a summer fling! The experience will be offered year-round with special appearances from National Geographic explorers on the weekends of Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day. Last year’s program included NASA Engineer Kobie Boykins and Tim Samaras, severe storm researcher. Prices start at $20 per child for half-day sessions.
