Traveler advice
Getting around
Traveling in Tempe/Phoenix/Scottsdale
Traveling in the Valley of the Sun as a newer city is easy! The highway system/lightrail allows our house to be 15 minutes or less from Downtown Phoenix, Scottsdale including Old Town and only 30 minutes from Glendale where the Arizona Cardinals play!
