"A post shared by Hot Topic @Desert Sky Mall (@ht_desertsky) on Mar 10, 2020 at 4:51pm PDT. Desert Sky Mall, not only provides an engaging shopping and recreational atmosphere for everyone, but they also find a way to give back to the community through partnerships with non-profit establishments and financial support groups. It’s home to over 130 shops and eateries, including some big names - Mercado De Los Cielos, Dillard’s, Burlington Coat Factory - and a cinema."

"One of the most popular hiking trails in the valley is the Echo Canyon trail at Camelback Mountain. The Echo Canyon Recreation Area is made up of layered sandstone and comprises the "head" of Camelback Mountain. Prepare to catch of glimpse at some of the smaller animals of the Sonoran Desert, including cottontail rabbits, snakes, lizards, Harris antelope squirrels as well as a variety of birds."

"The most well-known and popular outdoor hiking route in the Phoenix area is Camelback Mountain. The trails to get to the top of the mountain are definitely challenging, but well worth the effort for some awesome views and great exercise. Keep in mind that the Phoenix heat makes this hike extra challenging, so start your hike as early in the morning as possible."

"The Cholla Trail to the top is popular, but is not for the faint of heart. You can enjoy views of Camelback Mountain from the bottom in many parts of Phoenix."

"Margaret T. Hance Park is home to the Japanese Friendship Garden, Irish Cultural Center, McClelland Irish Library and the historic Winship House. At 32 acres, Margaret T. Hance Park is one of the smaller parks on the list but this spot in downtown Phoenix isn’t your typical sports-and-playground park. It is home to the Japanese Friendship Garden, Irish Cultural Center, McClelland Irish Library and the historic Winship House."

"The 32-acre park is relaxing and surrounded by history, making you completely forget the time you absolutely lost it in traffic in I-10's tunnel right below you. There are reservable ramadas, the grass is lush (most of the time), and there are more than a few neighboring restaurants. Think Match Kitchen & Cocktails, Fez, SoSoBa, and Pizza People Pub."

"A little oasis in the heart of downtown, Margaret T. Hance Park is a lovely escape from city life. The 32-acre park was named in honor of the city’s first female mayor. It has expansive shaded grassy areas, picnic tables and a volleyball court."

"George "Doc" Cavalliere Park is an award-winning nature lover's oasis in Scottsdale. The 34 acre park features a shaded playground, two lighted full basketball courts, picnic areas, two drop-in ramadas, and a one-mile looping hiking trail. This is a popular destination for spring wildflower viewing."

"Located just west of I-17 on Thunderbird Road, the original Abacus Inn is one of those unsuspecting don’t-judge-a-book-by-its-cover strip mall joints that’s easy to drive right by. But then you’d be missing out on impossibly crispy fried wonton starters, spicy beef with just the right amount of volcano, kung pao cabbage that’s super saucy but somehow still crunchy, and house special chow mein loaded with pork, chicken, shrimp, and oodles of noodles. Everything comes out sizzling hot — seriously, it will still be steaming when you get home — with all the requisite sauces and utensils that, left out, can ruin takeout faster than you can ask, “Where’s the soy sauce?"

"Abacus Inn Chinese Restaurant is designed with red accents and wood paneling to pair classic Chinese favorites. Their menu includes common Chinese fares with a twist of their own. The Chef uses only the best ingredients to create the dishes."

"This popular Chinese restaurant offers a house special including chow mein loaded with pork, chicken, and shrimp. They have multiple locations throughout the Valley."
