In the last 3 days I walked 15.57 miles around San Diego, mostly around my usual neighborhoods and the park. On the mapped route to Washington D.C., that brings me into the heart of Phoenix and then across the Salt River!
Today, the high in Phoenix was 112 degrees. So, I'm glad I am doing my actual walking in San Diego, where it was only 82...but, that's in the shade close to the airport where the bay is. Inland, it's a bit warmer. So, I have been doing most of my walking after the sun goes down.
Phoenix...wow. I've walked the distance it takes to get to Phoenix! Here are some things to do while you're in Phoenix. You can visit the Musical Instrument Museum, the Desert Botanical Garden, and the Heard Museum. Or, if you want a challenge, you could hike up Camelback Mountain (but, maybe not in the Summer). You could take in a baseball game at Chase Field. Or, take a hike at South Mountain Park. For the kids, the Children's Museum of Phoenix may be a good option. For a cool, indoor activity, the Phoenix Art Museum. Phoenix has a nice zoo for a family activity. Papago Park (the home of the zoo and the botanical garden) is a nice place for a picnic. Take off in the early morning on a cool balloon ride! The Arizona Science Center is popular with kids of all ages.
The Phoenix Visitor's Center can guide you into many more things to see and experience in Phoenix. The Phoenix Visitor's Center .
