A Walk Around Scottsdale

We spent a getaway weekend in Old Town Scottsdale.  The hotel rates are low during the off season and the rooms were great.  It gets quite hot during the day (110 degrees), but the early morning is best for walking -- its cooler and there are fewer people around.  The free trolley came right by our hotel and went to the big shopping mall and also around the Old Town area -- a great way to check out where to go later.

Hyatt Place ($65 a night).  Great room and free breakfast.
