Day Hiking In June, we listed night hiking as one of the best things about summer in Arizona. Those of you who aren't big fans of that night hiking business, fret not. The fall is the perfect time for morning, mid-day, and evening hikes. If you time it right, you can even hit the top of your peak for a famous Arizona sunset, then head back down before it gets dark.
The Arizona State Fair The Arizona State Fair comes to town October 11 and runs until November 3. As one of the most family-friendly festivals in Arizona, the fair brings Native Spirit Dancers, petting zoos, circus acts, a demolition derby, and more. If you're a foodie, it's the place for you. If you're an art lover, it's the place for you. If you're a thrill-seeker -- well, you get the picture. There's something for everybody. Ticket prices may vary by day and option. For more information about event dates and times, visit the www.azstatefair.com.
Going Outdoors You know when you look outside during the summer, see the beautifully blue sky and a bright shining sun, and you think to yourself, "I think I'll spend some time outside today." Instead of stepping one foot across the threshold and immediately regretting your decision, soon you'll be able to enjoy the outdoors sans super-sweaty sadness. Look forward to walking, no, sitting -- nay -- simply being outside again.
