Hello Everyone!
I have been on MFP for awhile now and seeing great results!
I will be relocating to Arizona in October and looking forward to exploring hiking trails and cycling.
Any recommendations and/or friends are welcome!

    Welcome to AZ, I recently moved here from the Midwest! I live in the West Valley so I'm not too familiar with trails and so forth in the Scottsdale area.....I'm still finding my way around and looking for places in the Glendale / Peoria area, lol! :smile:

    Welcome! I live on the Phoenix/Scottsdale border too (I live in north Phoenix, around the 51 and Union Hills).

    My favorite trail is Pinnacle Peak, which is pretty far north but I think very gorgeous and worth the little drive.

    i think you are going to enjoy it here. i moved here two years ago and i love it. the weather is fantastic.

    my 2 biggest complaints are the lack of an ocean and the limited amount of ethnic restaurants. i miss having a korea town, china town, little italy etc...to choose from. Red Lobster was voted best seafood in Phoenix for crying out loud! lol
