Discover Details:
Cathedral Rock Trail
I think wearing sturdy shoes is a must! I wore sneakers and slipped a lot on the rocky parts. A good pair of hiking boots will save you from a faceplant!
Ponderosa Stables
Check the weather before you go! I was not prepared for the heat and ended up wishing I had brought more water and a hat. It gets super hot out there!
My advice is to book your ride in advance. I thought I could walk in, but they were super busy. I ended up waiting almost an hour for a spot
I think you should arrive at least 30 minutes early to fill out any waivers and get familiar with the horses. Starting the experience rushed isn’t fun at all!
Octane Raceway
I think getting the race package with extra laps is totally worth it. The more time on the track, the better! I felt like I could’ve easily taken another round.
My advice is to wear comfortable clothes. The karting suits can get a little warm, but being comfortable will let you enjoy the race even more!
Devils Bridge
I suggest checking the weather before you go. It rained on me and the rocks got super slippery. It ruined my fun a little, but lesson learned!
look for some free parking spots on the side of the road, instead of paying at the main lot. it saved me a few bucks and it wasn’t too far of a walk!
Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park
My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The food prices there are high, and most vendors don’t have great options. Pack a cooler if you can!
Cave Creek Outfitters
Don’t be shy to ask questions about the horses! The guides are super friendly and love sharing their knowledge; it makes the experience way more enriching.
If you can, go for the morning rides around 8 AM. The weather's cooler, and the light is just perfect for photos!
Pack a small backpack with water and snacks. You’ll enjoy the ride a lot more without worrying about thirst or hunger!
Chase Field
I suggest checking for any special promotions on tickets. Sometimes they have discounts on specific game nights, which really helps save some cash.
Make sure to explore the upper deck areas of the stadium for some cool views of the game. The seats up there aren't as bad as you'd think, and it's a fun vibe.
Grab your food outside the park before heading in. The food choices inside are pricey, and you can find some great spots nearby for a bite that won't break the bank.
Talking Stick Resort Arena
My advice is to catch the light rail if you can! Parking can be a hassle and super expensive, so the train from downtown is a total game changer.
South Rim Trail
If you plan to grab lunch at the park, bring your own snacks! I spent way too much on food in the cafeteria and it was just average.
I suggest starting your hike early, like around 7 AM, to avoid the crowds and catch the sunrise. It's totally worth it!
Grand Canyon Scenic Airlines
Make sure to book your flight in advance, especially during peak season. I got lucky, but I overheard others who missed out because they waited too long.
