Cool short drive on an unpaved road that’s pretty easy if you have high clearance. Nice that it’s one way. They shot some of Star Wars here.
Amazing view at amy time of day but spectacular at sunset if there are clouds in the sky. Can be super crowded with aholes flying drones.
Awesome loop hike when add in Red cathedral and Gower Gulch. Go clockwise otherwise you’re going up hill thru the boring wash.
If the light is right this is a really cool place to stop on your way to or from Death Valley. Easy to do with any car and about 10 minutes off the road.

One of the best parts of the hotel. Amazing at night and amazing at first light in the morning.
Amazing apple pie that is worth a stop to pick up. Avoid the weak coffee.
Obscure and out of the way historic site but worth it if in the area and you like to hike. Be sure to do the overlook trail on the way back. Plan for 3 hours at least.
Wine is just ok, but the food is great for lunch. Love the beet salad and spinach artichoke and hatch chili dip.
Well worth the climb up for an amazing view. Surprisingly a great experience, even as a jaded NewYorker. Buy well in advance and enjoy, unless you are scared of heights.
Tons of history in this small place. Make sure you have your tickets for liberty in advance
Good for a kids haircut. Fast cheap and with video games to keep them entertained. Friendly staff.
Best place to eat in Coolidge if going to casa grande. Nice outdoor seating and good Greek food. Can’t go wrong for lunch. They do have beer and booze.
Wonderful historic inn with lush grounds and graceful if slightly aging cottages. Good upkeep overall and nice outdoor sitting areas. A real gem in an amazing neighborhood.
Beautifully peaceful historic (for Tucson) neighborhood made up of cute houses small and grand. Great place for a morning jog.
It is truly amazing to see the throne room and kubla kahan. Wish they let you take photos.
Fun modern Italian joint. The Negroni olive jello is ridiculously good and the rib parmigiana is delicious but can be a bit much. Free bubbly is always welcome. Nice staff.
A staple of Brooklyn now no matter the price. Good interesting flavors keep you coming back.
Small and seemingly struggling coffee place in a wasteland. Please pass on Starbucks and give them a try, Java is much better here.
Beautiful hiking area, close to the west side of phoenix with great trails and feels secluded even if it’s not. Desert tortoise loop is east and fun.
The wine is fine but not memorable. Worth a stop if you have kids for the farm animals and food. Can get crowded with drunk aholes on the weekends
Surprisingly awesome restaurant tucked away in a side street of Ventura. Great patio and cocktail program. The food is playful and delicious with the Caribbean fish stew, fish dip and key lime winners
Incredible venue with great acoustics. Fun to explore the interior architecture and roof garden during intermission.
Not so fried chicken sandwich and Cobb Salad are great - make sure to sample the curried couscous, it’s amazingly addictive.
Great classical theater in Pasadena. Everyone is super friendly and there isn’t a bad seat in the house.
Good dinner option when going to the Pantages as it’s right across the street. Ok back patio and decent sushi and cocktails. Good service.
