Day by day
Friday 12 March
19:30 · Welcome dinner in Old Town
One long table, close enough to walk to the bars after.
Old Town · restaurant
22:00 · Old Town bars
The bars around Craftsman Court and Saddlebag Trail are close together, so nobody needs a ride between them.
Old Town · nightlife
Saturday 13 March
06:30 · Sunrise hike up Camelback
Echo Canyon is steep and partly a scramble. Start at first light, carry more water than you think, and skip it after a late night.
Camelback Mountain · nature
11:00 · Pool day
The main event. Book a house with a heated pool or day passes at a resort, and bring the floats.
Scottsdale · downtime
17:45 · Sunset at Hole-in-the-Rock
A short climb in Papago Park to a window in the rock that looks west over the city.
