All, I am in Tempe with a rented Maser for the next few days. Any fun drives that can start at 4:00-4:30 in the afternoon? I'm staying at the Marriott Butte. Thanks! dsd
That's rush hour so not the ideal time. You could maybe take a drive up South Mountain which shouldn't be too far. It's at least scenic.
Visited South Mountain. Very Pretty. Unfortunately, most roads were closed for the next few months to repair storm damage. Any other thoughts? Thanks! dsd
Longer than 30 minutes drive ... but fun ... better in morning. If you start at 4PM it will be dark before you get there. Go to Tortilla Flats https://www.google.com/maps/place/Tortilla+Flat,+AZ+85119/@33.5122593,-111.4352299,14z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x872bc67d63b53ce5:0x7cbd0509a62381f9 Steve
It's not as good at Tortilla flats but you can get there before dark. Take the red Mountain 202 to Power road. Head north, it will turn into Bush hwy. This road runs along the salt river. Recommend taking it to Saguaro Lake. At the marina you can stop for a beer and enjoy the sunset at the lake before returning. Cheers Jim
