Scottsdale’s Outdoor Experiences to Enjoy This Fall
Fall in Scottsdale is pure perfection. With warm, sunny days and cool desert evenings, it’s the perfect time to head outdoors and soak in everything this desert paradise has to offer. Whether you’re hiking among cacti, enjoying a round of golf, or exploring the charm of Old Town, Scottsdale’s fall weather makes every experience unforgettable.
Here are some of the best outdoor activities in Scottsdale to enjoy this season — all easy to reach from your Voyago Vacation Rental.
1. Hike the McDowell Sonoran Preserve
If you love hiking, you’ll find your happy place in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. This protected desert landscape offers more than 225 miles of trails, from easy scenic strolls to challenging climbs. Local favorites include the Gateway Loop Trail and Tom’s Thumb Trail, both offering panoramic views of the Sonoran Desert.
The cooler fall temperatures make hiking especially enjoyable this time of year — just remember to bring water, sun protection, and your camera.
2. Tee Off at World-Class Golf Courses
Fall marks the start of golf season in Scottsdale, and the conditions couldn’t be better. With more than 200 courses in the area, golfers can enjoy everything from championship layouts to scenic resort courses surrounded by desert beauty.
Play a round at TPC Scottsdale, home of the Waste Management Phoenix Open, or enjoy a round at Troon North Golf Club for stunning mountain views. Afterward, relax with a cold drink on the patio and take in a classic Scottsdale sunset.
3. Visit the Desert Botanical Garden
Located in nearby Papago Park, the Desert Botanical Garden is one of the most unique outdoor attractions in Arizona. Wander through trails lined with towering cacti, colorful succulents, and vibrant desert blooms. You’ll learn about the plants that thrive in this ecosystem and get a true feel for the magic of the Sonoran Desert.
Fall weather makes this experience even more enjoyable — comfortable, quiet, and bursting with natural color.
4. Explore Old Town Scottsdale by Bike or on Foot
Old Town Scottsdale is full of life this time of year. From boutique shops and art galleries to local restaurants and wine bars, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Rent an e-bike or simply stroll along the Scottsdale Waterfront, where you’ll find great spots like Olive & Ivy for a patio lunch or The Montauk for an evening cocktail. In the fall, the mild weather makes it easy to spend the entire day exploring outdoors.
5. Catch a Scottsdale Sunset
There’s no better way to end a day of adventure than by watching a desert sunset. Head to Camelback Mountain, Pinnacle Peak Park, or simply unwind in the backyard of your Voyago Vacation Rental.
