About Scottsdale

Scottsdale is a desert city next to Phoenix, in Arizona's Sonoran Desert, with a Western-style old town, art galleries, resorts and mountain trails.

Scottsdale lies east of Phoenix in Arizona, among the saguaro cacti and rocky hills of the Sonoran Desert. Old Town is a district of Western-themed shops, galleries and restaurants, and the city calls itself the West's Most Western Town. Taliesin West, Frank Lloyd Wright's winter home and desert school, is part of a World Heritage listing for his work.
