Used to be the place to go before the Indian School Road corridor between 40th and 44th streets turned into the new restaurant row. Arcadia Tavern has reliably good food and the usual beer taps. Service is usually good but multiple management turnover. About 2 miles northeast of house at 48th St and Indian School Rd.

Great food, brewery. Views of Camelback Mountain in the back outside patio area. Too cold for Phoenix winter. They leave the doors open during colder evenings for some reason. Good spot for warmer Spring and Autumn. Nothing extra special.

Take a short or 5 mile daytime walk along the delightful trails in Papago Park. Scale the butte up to Hole in the Rock to take in the Valley of the Sun! Take water, turn on your GPS location, and a walking stick if you have one. Recommend walking the trails at midday not before dusk (due to possible snakes laying on trail to soak in the heat before night fall) except Hole in the Rock because it is well-travelled.

A challenging hike up the inner Valley's 2nd highest peak. A grand view of the Valley. Difficult trail for the unconditioned. Another option is to park at the end of the road parking and hike the rolling trails. Moderate difficulty and well-worth the walk and scenery. Although this park is in the middle of the Valley, you'd never know it once in the middle of the park. Take water, charged phones, hats, and sunscreen.
