Located in the heart of the Sonora Desert, Scottsdale has long been known as “The West’s Most Western Town”. Offering an abundance of hiking trails, parks, rivers and mountains; Scottsdale residents and visitors take full advantage of the more than 300 days a year of sunny skies.

Scottsdale is home to about 250,000 residents and many of the country’s most beautiful luxury resorts. With more than 8 million guests each year, tourism and hospitality is the primary economic base in Scottsdale.  Some top attractions in Scottsdale include Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West, Scottsdale Center for the Arts, Kerr Cultural Center, Old Town Scottsdale art galleries and Scottsdale Fashion Square.
