Description:
SCOTTSDALE. In 1967, Scottsdale was the beneficiary of 30 acres of land as part of a generous gift from Mr. and Mrs. Fowler McCormick. Seven years later, construction of the town's beloved railroad park commenced. Today, visitors can board the 5/12-scale train at Stillman Station and enjoy a one-mile ride through the park's beautiful grounds. Additional attractions include a playground, carousel, snack store in a caboose, and a display of restored locomotives. An educational, unforgettable experience for children and adults alike. |

Ramadas (covered picnic shelters) provide a perfect place to take in the views and can be reserved with a call. The area is ranger-patrolled for safety. Located at East Van Buren Street and North Galvin Parkway. |

Description:
DOWNTOWN PHOENIX. A maze of well-maintained hiking trails crisscrosses one of the largest municipal parks in the world. For a spectacular view, drive to Dobbins Lookout Point and gaze at the city from 1200 feet. Then, trek to Happy Valley via a trail through South Mountain Park. The place is magnificent, especially in springtime when the terrain is knee-deep with wildflowers. Free maps are available at the entrance, but no glass containers are permitted on the premises. If you want to drive to the top, arrive no later than 9pm. |
